NEW YORK (AP) -A person familiar with Brian Cushing’s case says the Houston Texans linebacker tested positive for HCG, a fertility drug that is on the NFL’s banned substance list.
The person tells The Associated Press that Cushing had one positive test last September, then subsequently tested negative several times. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because test results are supposed to remain confidential.
ESPN first reported the banned substance.
The NFL has suspended Cushing for the first four games of next season. He won the AP’s NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year honor in January for outstanding on-field performance. The AP is taking a revote for the award, plus for All-Pro outside linebacker.
