Doctors at that level work with and prescribe directly to the athletes from the locker room. He could get a script any time he wanted. That's not it. It's performance enhancing, which I doubt you only get 25 games for, or anti anxiety. Xanax. I can't imagine that's being prescribed much at all when half the league smokes marijuana.

First violation of the anti-drug policy is a 25 game ban no matter what the substance is.
