Normally you hear that players are suspended for using performance-enhancing drugs not coaches.
Dallas Cowboys QB coach Wade Wilson was suspended 5 games and fined a $100,00 by the NFL for violating the drug policy. I didn’t know this pertains to coaches as well so color me surprised.
Wilson took HGH and steroids while he was a member of the Chicago Bears coaching staff from 2004-2006. He maintains that they were for personal use and he never distributed them. Wilson is a diabetic and hoped that the drugs would help improve his overall quality of life.
His name came up during the same investigation that caught the Patriots’ Rodney Harrison. He will be able to come back on October 9th.
What is surprising to me is that he said he only took them for a limited time. But if the investigation revealed that he received him for a period of 3 years, how can he say he only took them for a limited time. I understand his reasoning for taking them but it makes me wonder if he gave them to any players.
It will be interesting to see what the rest of this investigation brings out as 10 WWE wrestlers were suspended by the WWE, Harrison and now Wilson from this investigation so far.
