When Clay Matthews, Julius Peppers and James Harrison were cleared of any wrongdoing in the NFL’s bogus PED investigation earlier in the week, former Packer Mike Neal’s name was conspicuously absent.
Predictably, that’s because Neal is still under investigation. That’s curious because the NFL reportedly had no real evidence. Just a recanted statement in an Al Jazeera report.
But just because it’s curious, doesn’t mean you should be surprised.
Neal has been suspended for a PED violation before. Last December, when Matthews and Peppers were vehemently denying any wrongdoing, Neal was much less convincing in his denial.
