METAIRIE, La. (AP) -Houston Texans linebacker Brian Cushing has had a four-game suspension for taking a performance-enhancing drug upheld by the NFL after his appeal.
The reigning Associated Press Defensive Rookie of the Year was suspended in May for testing positive for HCG, a fertility drug that is on the NFL’s banned substances list.
Cushing claims that he has a unique medical condition that triggered the positive test.
He will miss games against Indianapolis, Washington, Dallas and Oakland before becoming eligible to return Oct. 10, when Houston hosts the New York giants.
