Texans LB Brian Cushing Says Banned Substance Was A Non-Steroid

Brian Cushing insists the failed drug test that led to his suspension was for a non-steroidal banned substance, the Texans linebacker told Jay Glazer of FOXSports.com exclusively on Saturday. "I did not take a steroid," Cushing said. "I'm very disappointed because I thought we would've won the appeal. I'm still stunned by the decision. It'll be tough not being with my teammates." Cushing was suspended for four games on Friday for violating the NFL's policy on performance-enhancing substances. "We were disappointed to learn that Brian has been suspended for the first four games of the 2010 season,'' Houston general manager Rick Smith said in a statement. "Brian is a productive member of our team and this is a significant loss, but we have to be prepared to win without him.'' Cushing was hounded by rumors of performance-enhancing drug use before he became a pro, but the Texans were undeterred. They said then they found no truth to those rumors in their draft preparations.

if it wasn't steroids then what was it, kind sir

 

Might be HGH

 

He's on 'roids and ANOTHER banned substance?

He may not have been caught, but he's definitely roided TO THE MAX!!

 

I dont think he's on roids. I'd go with HGH maybe he would snort some coke before games.

 

If you EVER test positive for coke your a freaking moron
