Lions wide receiver Jameson Williams has released a statement via his agent after testing positive for a performance-enhancing substance earlier in the week and subsequently getting suspended for two games.
This week I was notified by the NFL that I have been suspended for a violation of the Performance Enhancing Substances Policy.
The news came as a complete surprise that I am still trying to understand.
I don’t take supplements or vitamins and I am overly cautious about even taking over-the-counter medicine. At no time have I ever taken something in an attempt to cheat or look for an unfair advantage. I understand that I am responsible for everything that goes into my body and I have to take accountability in this instance.
I have nothing but love and respect for this game, my teammates, coaches, the Lions organization and the City of Detroit. It is disappointing to accept this suspension, and it will hurt me to be away from the team as they prepare this week. So out of respect to my teammates, this will be the last time I address this matter.
So, it seems like Jamo will indeed accept the suspension after having the opportunity to appeal. If that’s the case, the Lions will be without him this Sunday against the Titans, and on November 3 in Green Bay.
