NFL risks player outrage after banning controversial stimulant backed by Joe Rogan before the new season
The NFL are set to ban smelling salts and ammonia packets in a move which could cause outrage among players and coaches alike.
Hundreds of players have previously admitted to using the product which is typically used to boost alertness and energy - during their respective careers.
The news was confirmed by 49ers star George Kittle on Tuesday afternoon. He claimed: 'I considered retirement. We have to figure out a middle ground'.
Smelling salts are also popular across multiple sports and with regular gym-goers.
The stimulant has previously been endorsed by Joe Rogan, who spoke at length about smelling salts during a podcast episode three years ago.
