Ex-Steelers DT blames 'tainted supplement' for PED violation, significant NFL suspension

[ASFN Admin]

Former Steeler-turned-Bills DT Larry Ogunjobi has been suspended six games by the NFL for violating the league's performance-enhancing drug policy.

Ogunjobi wasn’t the only Bills player reported to be suspended, however, as his teammate EDGE Michael Hoecht will also miss six regular-season games for his own PED violation.

The former Steelers defensive lineman addressed the matter, blaming it on a "tainted supplement" but acknowledging that all NFL players are responsible for knowing what they put in their bodies. Ogunjobi added that he learned about the violation while finalizing his one-year deal with the Buffalo Bills—yet was welcomed with open arms despite the suspension.

Ogunjobi was one of the most likely roster cuts for the Pittsburgh Steelers this offseason—and it's safe to say the Steel City dodged a bullet in a huge way, with his suspension news coming just four days later.
