We weten inmiddels dat men in Amerika forse schorsingen op kan leggen (Artest is inmiddels berucht). Een nieuw hoofdstuk in de NFL.
NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell has informed Adam Jones of the Tennessee Titans and Chris Henry of the Cincinnati Bengals that they have been suspended without pay for violating the NFL's personal conduct policy and engaging in conduct detrimental to the league on numerous occasions, the NFL announced.
Jones was suspended for the 2007 season, while Henry was suspended for the first half of the 2007 regular season. Each player must earn the right to be reinstated.
"We must protect the integrity of the NFL," Commissioner Goodell said. "The highest standards of conduct must be met by everyone in the NFL because it is a privilege to represent the NFL, not a right.
Vooral die laatste zin zegt veel. Je hebt een voorbeeldfunctie als topsporter, niet alleen op het veld, maar ook in je priveleven. Ze zijn iets te vaak met de politie in aanraking gekomen en dan mag de League gewoon ingrijpen en worden ze geschorst.
Verder zijn de volgende eisen van toepassing:
The specific conditions that apply to Jones' suspension include the following:
He must have no further adverse involvement with law enforcement.
He must fully cooperate with all required counseling, education, and treatment assigned under league or court-ordered programs.
He must adhere to the restrictions on his activities that have been agreed to by he and the Titans.
He may not be at the Titans' facility through May 31 and may not participate in any practices or organized workouts during the term of the suspension. Beginning June 1, he must visit the team facility once each week to meet with the team's player development director. Also, beginning June 1, he is permitted to spend one day a week at the team facility for conditioning, film study, and other similar activities.
In conjunction with the team's player development director and other professionals working with him, Jones must develop with the Titans a structured program of community service or other activity. This program must be submitted to the league office for review and approval.
Henry will be reinstated if he meets certain conditions during his suspension that will be monitored closely by the Bengals and the NFL. Those conditions include the following:
He must have no further adverse involvement with law enforcement.
He must fully cooperate with all required counseling, education, and treatment assigned to him under league programs.
He is eligible to be at the Bengals' facilities during the rest of the offseason for customary activities and he must meet weekly with the team's player development director.
If he fully complies with all other conditions, he may participate in the Bengals' training camp and preseason games.
During the regular season, he is permitted to be at the Bengals' facility for team meetings and must meet weekly with the team's player development director, but he may not attend or participate in practice.
He must fully comply with all conditions imposed on him by any court, including requirements of community service.
