ATLANTA (AP) -An attorney for Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger says the Georgia Bureau of Investigation has withdrawn a request for a DNA sample from the player who is accused of sexually assaulting a woman at a nightclub.
Ed Garland told The Associated Press Tuesday night that officials withdrew the request a week ago. He declined to comment on why. ESPN first reported the information earlier.
The two-time Super Bowl champion has not been charged. A 20-year-old college student told police he assaulted her on March 5 in a Milledgeville club.
Garland would not say whether the decision impacted the case or if charges would be filed. He said he hopes GBI’s investigation would conclude within the next month.
GBI spokesman John Bankhead did not immediately return a phone call.
