According to the NFL's drug policy, Lofa Tatupu faces a possible fine of one-half of one-seventeenth of his base salary, which is $520,000. So he could be fined about $15,000. The cap is $20,000 if his base salary was higher. He will only face a suspension if he has a second offense.

Is the 520,000 base mean wht he makes for one year?If I'm rite he will make 32,500 per game.So the fine will be a little less than half of one game check?
