NFL to suspend Harrison for HGH violation

[PeepShow]

Source: ESPN

New England Patriots safety Rodney Harrison will be suspended by the NFL for four games because he admitted to federal investigators that he obtained Human Growth Hormone, sources told ESPN.com on Friday.

Harrison had a hearing with NFL commissioner Roger Goodell on Friday, the sources told ESPN's Chris Mortensen. The Patriots could announce the suspension as early as Saturday.

A league spokesman said the NFL had "no comment" about Harrison, who also could not be reached. Efforts to reach the Patriots were unsuccessful.

The admission by Harrison has never been made public but his name was among those known to federal and New York state investigators that conducted a two-year investigation into an Internet pharmaceutical distribution ring for steroids and other performance enhancers such as HGH.

Investigators have discovered several athletes across many sports whose names were linked in the probe. Sources say at least one NFL assistant also has been questioned.

Thoughts........

I think it is a good thing that Goodell is being strict with the players in the NFL. If they are going to do stupid things like drugs and killing dogs they shouldn't get to play in the NFL. I just wish more commissioners had the balls that Goodell has *cough* Selig *cough*.

I am wondering who else could be involved with this too.

Yeah good move. The players are really going overboard and Goodell is putting them in their place. It would probably teach them a little discipline.

P.S shouldn't this be in the NFL discussion thread?
