Cardinals receiver DeAndre Hopkins was suspended in early May by the NFL for violating the league’s performance-enhancing drug policy. He received a six-game ban for testing positive for the drug Ostarine.
He addressed the suspension with the media at an event on Thursday.
“We’re still doing some research right now, so hopefully before the season starts, maybe we can get the games down a little bit,” Hopkins said.
“But it wasn’t on me. I’m a natural. … It was called Ostarine. There was 0.1% found in my system, which is contamination not something directly taken…my team and I are still trying to figure out what’s going on,” Hopkins continued.
