NFL Suspends Six Players for Four Games for Anti-Doping Violations
The NFL has suspended six players, including two stars of the Minnesota Vikings' defensive line, on Wednesday for four games for violations of the league's anti-doping policy.
The suspended players were running back Deuce McAllister and defensive linemen Charles Grant and Will Smith of New Orleans; defensive linemen Kevin and Pat Williams of Minnesota; and long snapper Bryan Pittman of Houston.
All six players were suspended without pay for using a diuretic, which can serve as a masking agent for steroids.
The punishment means all six will miss the end of the regular season, which is a serious blow to the Vikings, which lose their two stalwarts on a defense that is second in the NFL in rushing yards.
A seventh player, Atlanta's Grady Jackson, was not suspended.
If a player's team qualifies for the playoffs, the suspended player will be be eligible to return to the active roster on Dec. 29.
