Panthers' Thomas Davis busy preserving image 'straight garbage' suspension tarnished | Charlotte Observer

It has been a week since Carolina Panthers linebacker Thomas Davis made the jarring announcement that he has been suspended four games for testing positive for performance-enhancing drugs.

Davis has said nothing since releasing his two-minute video, although his wife, Kelly, has been on social media and a Charlotte TV station backing up Davis’ claim that he had not “done anything to try to intentionally cheat the game.”

During an appearance this week on WCCB’s ‘The Edge,’ Kelly Davis called the suspension “straight garbage” and questioned the lag time between when a player submits a urine sample in the NFL’s drug testing program and when he’s informed that he has tested positive for a banned substance.
