You're missing the fact that the enablers were the people who allowed and even taught him to cheat. From what I could see Gordon's college teams actually showed him how to cheat. The Browns allowed him to give rehab lip service and treat it like a cover story for the media. Then they allowed him to get on a plane full of Browns players drinking while he was liable to be suspended for drinking. Every bit of that is on Gordon himself, but it is also on the teams he was playing for. They ALL were giving lip service to all the rehab stuff.Look, if he had been clean for an extended period, then perhaps I'd be more willing to assume good faith.
But by his own admission, he's been using shit continuously since high school. And he just got out of rehab. Like, days ago.
I see zero reason to assume that this time is finally the time, after all those other "I really am clean now and have turned myself around" claims, that it is actually true. For what...the week or two he's been out of rehab?
Reinstatement looks a lot like enabling, once again.

So, your solution is to just never give people recovering any kind of chance to re-enter their field? How is that any kind of solution for anyone? How about they reinstate him with some legitimate checks and balances on his activities?
