Guild Wars » with the squad this week but Hartle

MINNEAPOLIS - Potential discipline for Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson under the NFL personal conduct policy has become more complicated and contentious.The league said Saturday that Peterson declined to meet about his case Friday, so it proceeded with a review without him. The NFL also said it was unwilling to postpone the hearing beyond this week, citing the NFL Players Associations stated desire to resolve the situation promptly.Peterson has been on paid leave for two months. He pleaded no contest Nov. 4 to misdemeanour reckless assault in Texas for hitting his 4-year-old son with a wooden switch. The NFLPA has filed an expedited grievance against the NFL to return Peterson to the roster until punishment is determined. That issue will be moderated Monday by an arbitrator.So while the union has been accusing the league of dragging out the process, the league has fired back.The NFL said it scheduled the Friday hearing three days in advance for the purpose of reviewing Petersons case. According to the NFL, it was informed by the union Thursday without meaningful reason that it was unavailable to meet.We had hoped that Adrian would take advantage of his opportunity to be heard and present whatever information he believes should be considered before a decision on discipline, counselling and services is made, league spokesman Brian McCarthy said. Because he and the NFLPA elected not to do so, we will have to address this based on the information currently available to us.The NFL said the union declined alternative proposals for this week. The league also said it has not received more than cursory materials in response to requests for information on Petersons case.The League office seems more focused on creating an arbitrary disciplinary process for Adrian instead of honouring a signed agreement to remove him from the Commissioners list, NFLPA spokesman George Atallah said. They are simply making stuff up as they go along. They should commit their efforts to meeting us at the table to collectively bargain a new personal conduct policy.Petersons case was ordered sealed by the judge after the plea deal was reached, so the league will not have any more access to the court documents than the general public. The Vikings have seven games left, and the NFLs upgraded penalty for players involved in domestic violence calls for a six-game suspension.That policy was announced by Commissioner Roger Goodell in August. The injuries to Petersons son occurred in May.The grievance hearing Monday will be handled by Shyam Das, an arbiter used by the NFL and NFLPA under the collective bargaining agreement reached in 2011. Lawyers representing both sides will discuss the matter via conference call.Peterson was indicted Sept. 12. He was held out of Minnesotas game on Sept. 14 and placed on the commissioners exempt list Sept. 16. After his plea freed him from the court system, assuming fulfilment of probation terms, the union demanded in a letter to the league that Peterson be allowed to rejoin the Vikings immediately until any discipline had been determined. But the NFL responded by declaring Peterson would remain on paid leave until the process is completed.___AP NFL websites: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP_NFL Discount Air Jordan Shoes .
