The NFL generally downplays PED use as the league's popularity continues to grow, which is hypocritical considering how other sports like baseball are scrutinized. Thirteen NFL players were busted last season and none had their reputations tarnished. Hopkins is accepting his suspension without a fight because he knows he'll be back on the field this season.
Hopkins is actually facing stiff consequences for PED use. Even if he's rich from all his years in the NFL, Hopkins will still be hurt by this suspension to the tune of $5M.
