COSTA MESA, California -- Los Angeles Chargers defensive tackle Corey Liuget is suing his former trainer for $15 million in damages due to lost wages, pain and suffering for testing positive for performance-enhancing drugs, according to a document filed in U.S. District Court in California on Tuesday.
The person named in the suit is former Canadian Olympic bobsledding team member Ian Danney, who Liuget claims is responsible for the consequences of injecting the NFL player with a substance banned by the NFL. Liuget is currently serving a four-game suspension for violating the league's policy on performance-enhancing drugs.
