My understanding is that it breaks down like this in real life: for players suspended for various on-the-field infractions, the suspended list is used. The players continue to count against both the active and 40-man rosters. If the player is suspended due to PEDs, he goes on the restricted list. In this case the player no longer counts against either the active or 40-man roster until reinstated. For players convicted of a crime, they'd most likely go on the ineligible list, which works the same as the restricted list.
