Titans linebacker Ryan Fowler faces suspension for violating the NFL’s policy against performance-enhancing drugs, his lawyer confirmed Monday. According to an ESPN report, the league has “credible information” that Fowler “purchased, used or supplied” performance-enhancing drugs. The network said the information stemmed from the league’s meetings last month with a convicted steroids dealer, David Jacobs, who was found dead last week in Plano, Texas.
Fowler’s attorney, Peter Ginsburg of New York, said he was “disturbed” that the NFL “would have seen fit to have leaked the letter” notifying Fowler he faces suspension.
“Ryan has never tested positive for banned substances,” Ginsburg said. “There seems to be an admitted felon who spread some unsubstantiated rumor about Ryan and now the NFL is trying to use that to punish and compromise Ryan’s professional career. It’s disturbing, it’s disappointing and it’s in violation of Ryan’s rights.”
