Quote:The NFL has suspended Denver Broncos defensive end Derek Wolfe four games for a violation of the league's performance-enhancing drug policy, the team announced Friday.

"During the off-season I took a medication which is on the banned substance list," Wolfe said in a statement. "The medication is not a substance which would enhance my on-field performance in any way, and I genuinely was unaware that it was prohibited, but players are responsible for what is in their bodies. I will certainly exercise far greater caution in the future and will seek advice relating to the permissibility of any and all medications."

Wolfe started all 16 games for the Broncos in 2014 and recorded 1.5 sacks.

He will miss games against the Baltimore Ravens, Kansas City Chiefs, Detroit Lions and Minnesota Vikings. Wolfe will be eligible to return to the field in Week 5 against the Oakland Raiders.

The Chiefs also lost a member of their defense for the beginning of the 2015 season. Cornerback Sean Smith was suspended three games by the league for a violation of the substance abuse policy.

Stinks. Love watching him in the NFL and loved him here.

Unfortunate, assuming that's what happened. You really should just consult the NFLPA on every medication you take so they can give you the thumbs up or down.

I don't know. That statement sounds exactly like what every Olympic athlete or professional cyclist says when they are caught.
