Jimmy Garapollo gets a 2 game ban for taking PEDs. It is claimed he messed up with a TUE but even clear cases of taking PEDs typically leads t oa 4-6 game ban (e.g. Will Fuller and Bardley Roby)
Josh Gordon is an exception but only becuase he failed so many tests (his first suspension in 2013 was 2 games)
In other sport Maria Sharapova got a 15 month ban where there was to intent to cheat or significant fault), Garrett Scantling gets a 3 year ban for not actually failing a test, (he missed 3 whereabouts). Alain Baxter had to hand back Britains first olympic skiing medal and got a 3 month ban for inadvertantly taking a drug with no enhancement properties (but a varient of the same drug does) (He knew Vicks inhalers in Europe are OK to use but did not know those sold in the US had the banned substance). Kamila Valieva got 4 years for substance abuse.
Would bans of say 1 year for a first offence result in clubs and players being far more careful on what goes into players bodies and any TUE is valid.
