DeAndre Hopkins Speaks Out After Violating NFL’s PED Policy

Cardinals star receiver DeAndre Hopkins took to social media Monday night to address the six-game suspension he received for violating the NFL’s policy on performance-enhancing drugs.

The 29-year-old tweeted his response to Monday’s news along with the caption, “See you Week 7.”

“In my 10-year NFL career, I have never tested positive for using performance enhancing drugs,” the statement said. “To learn that my November test came back with trace elements of a banned substance, I was confused and shocked. I am very mindful of what I put in my body and have always taken a holistic approach, so I am working with my team to investigate how this could’ve happened. But even as careful as I have been, clearly I wasn’t careful enough.
