New York (AFP) - Former Pittsburgh Steelers and New England Patriots star Antonio Brown has been suspended for eight games following breaches of the NFL's personal conduct policy, the league said Friday.
In a statement, the NFL said Brown, an unrestricted free agent, remained eligible to sign with a team but would be suspended without pay for eight regular-season games starting from September 5 if he did.
The NFL said Brown had been suspended for "multiple violations" of the NFL's code of conduct.
Brown was investigated by the NFL for a series of off-field allegations, including two separate claims of sexual misconduct.
