The Social Climber: Denver Broncos Lose Another Player to Suspension
— -- quicklist:1title: Broncos Player Suspended for Drugstext: Broncos' wide receiver Wes Welker has been suspended from four games for violating the NFL's performance-enhancing drug policy, the team announced on Tuesday. He is the second Bronco player suspended this season after kicker Matt Prater was suspended for four games for alcohol violations. Welker tested positive for a banned amphetamine. Two weeks ago, he appealed the punishment and was rejected.
"I'm shocked as everyone at today's news," he wrote in an email to The Denver Post. "I want to make one thing abundantly clear: I would NEVER knowingly take a substance to gain a competitive advantage in any way...I have never been concerned with the leagues performance enhancing or drug abuse policies because under no scenario would they ever apply to me, but I now know, that (drug-policy procedures) are clearly flawed, and I will do everything in my power to ensure they are corrected, so other individuals and teams aren't negatively affected so rashly like this."
