Players who test positive for banned stimulants during the season will continue to get four-game suspensions.
And of more immediate impact — this weekend — the new performance-enhancing drug policy the league and players' union agreed to Wednesday will allow the Broncos' Wes Welker and two other suspended players to return to the field,NFL Jerseys Supply.
Welker, Dallas Cowboys defensive back Orlando Scandrick and St. Louis Rams wide receiver Stedman Bailey had been suspended for four games. All can return Sunday under the new rules in which players who test positive for banned stimulants in the offseason will no longer be suspended. Instead, they will be referred to the substance abuse program.

Testing for HGH was agreed upon in 2011 when a new collective bargaining agreement ended the lockout of the players. But the players had balked at the science in the testing and the appeals process for positive tests. Under the new deal, appeals of positive tests in the PED program will be heard by third-party arbitrators jointly selected and paid for by the NFL and union. Appeals will be processed more expeditiously under altered procedures.
The new rules also change the length of suspensions. Previously, all first-time violations of the performance-enhancing drug policy resulted in at least a four-game suspension.
Now, use of a diuretic or masking agent will result in a two-game suspension. The punishment for steroids,Wholesale China Jerseys, in-season use of stimulants,Cheap NFL Jerseys China, HGH or other banned substances is four games. Evidence of an attempt to manipulate a test is a six-game suspension.
Reps. Darrell E. Issa and Elijah E. Cummings, the chairman and ranking member of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform,Cheap NFL Jerseys, chipped in with their approval of the HGH testing:
The league and union are also nearing an agreement on changes to the substance abuse policy,Wholesale Jerseys China. That could reduce Cleveland Browns receiver Josh Gordon's season-long ban.
"This new HGH policy sends a clear message to NFL players, as well as student-athletes at the collegiate, high school, and youth levels,nfl jerseys china, that HGH and other performance-enhancing drugs are highly dangerous and will not be tolerated in athletic competition," they said in a statement.
"We are talking about cleaning up our game and keeping a clean game," Scandrick said Wednesday. "We are not cleaning up our game if we are suspending guys for stimulants and not testing guys for human growth hormones."
A second violation will result in a 10-game ban, up from a minimum of eight games. A third violation is at least a two-year suspension. Before, the ban was at least a year.
"I said it was flawed and we got it fixed," said Welker, who tested positive for amphetamines in the offseason. "I think you know that just kind of goes to show it was flawed and it's fixed now and we can move on from it."
Rams coach Jeff Fisher said he will use Bailey on special teams and probably as a wideout.
"It feels extremely good to be back here," Bailey said. "The first two weeks it was a dreadful feeling for me and I'm just happy it's all over now."
NEW YORK (AP) — The NFL finally will have HGH testing, perhaps as early as the end of this month.
