FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (CBSNewYork) — The NFL has suspended Jets wide receiver Jeremy Kerley for four games for violating its policy on performance-enhancing drugs.
Kerley is not eligible to return to practice until Dec. 11, the day after the Jets play the Denver Broncos. His first game back will be Dec. 17 against the New Orleans Saints.
Kerley said in a statement that he was shocked he tested positive for Turinabol, an anabolic steroid.
“I am 5’9″ tall and 180 pounds, and I have never used steroids in my life,” he said in a statement.
