Wide receiver Victor Bolden Jr., who made the 49ers last year as an undrafted rookie, has been suspended without pay for the first four games for violating the league's performance-enhancing substances policy.
“Unknowingly, I used a supplement that was on the NFL’s banned substance list," Bolden said in a statement released by the team Friday. "As a professional athlete, I take full responsibility for not verifying the ingredients of the supplement. In the future, I will be much better educated when choosing what to put in my body. It hurts to know that I will not be on the field with my team for the first four games of the season.
