Ninkovich Suspended 4 Games for PED Violation

Share this page

Doesn't that mean it's his 2nd violation? When was his first?
At least he has more time to heal. It's the equivalent of being Pup'd, except the Pats don't have to pay him.

What is this Nink hate founded on?

The fact that he sucks, unless you're playing Tennessee - yet he's worshiped as a god amongst a good segment of the fanbase for some reason.

The suspension thread isn't hate though, it's just fact. 'Cut his ass' is pure hate. :coffee:

Not for PEDs, they pop you on the first one. Pot, etc, is the 2nd.
 
Patriots DE Ninkovich hit with four-game ban

3948.jpg

NFL suspended Patriots DE Rob Ninkovich four games for violating the league's performance-enhancing drugs policy.

Ninkovich was already expected to miss at least the first two games of the season with a torn triceps. This gives the Patriots a way to not rush him back. The only problem now is that he can't be around the team the first four weeks. Ninkovich's ban may have led to the Patriots trading for Barkevious Mingo.

Remarkably similar numbers, save for one outlier season from Player A.
 
Statement from Ninkovich (from PFT):

Few things are more important to me than my name and reputation. This might call that into question for some, which has me heartbroken. I don't want to cut any corners. I want to do things the right way, with high integrity, and that's what I have always wanted to stand for. Any supplement I've ever used was bought at a store. I was unaware something I bought had a substance in it that would give me a positive test because it wasn't listed. One thing I have learned is that if a supplement is not NSF certified there are no regulations that ensure that what is on the label is 100 percent accurate. That is a hard lesson for me to learn at this stage in my career, but I take responsibility for it. It's a mistake I made and it hurts that I won't be there for my teammates.
