The Brownies are off to another season soon and offensive lineman, Ryan Tucker won’t be playing for the first four games. He has been suspended for using steroids in violation of the NFL’s drug policy.
Tucker missed part of last season, citing a “mental disorder.”
“I didn’t intend to compromise the integrity of the NFL, my team,” Tucker said following Friday’s morning practice. “I want to apologize to the fans, my family. It’s been a long road. I was pretty down and out last year, and in my attempt to come back I took a banned substance. I’m going to fulfill this punishment and get it behind me.”
He’ll be allowed to practice and attend preseason training camp but he won’t be allowed to take part in team activities once his suspension without pay begins on September 1, 2007.
What’s your take on this news? How do you think it will affect the beginning of their football season?
