The Houston Texans' defense took a major blow Friday when defensive rookie of the year Brian Cushing learned he is being suspended four games for violating the NFL's policy on performance-enhancing substances.

Cushing
Cushing appealed the league's decision at a hearing at the NFL scouting combine in February but was informed Friday his appeal had been rejected, according to sources.
Cushing will be allowed to participate in training camp with the Texans this summer, but then will serve his four game suspension to start the 2010 regular season.

Texans general manager Rick Smith says the team is "disappointed" to learn of the suspension.

Cushing's attorney, Harvey Steinberg, did not return telephone calls seeking comment.

The Texans defense will suffer without Cushing, especially considering that its first game of the season is against the defending AFC South champion Indianapolis Colts. Cushing will also miss games against the Washington Redskins, Dallas Cowboys and Oakland Raiders.

Cushing, who was voted to the Pro Bowl, had 133 tackles, helped lead the Texans to a 9-7 record, their first winning season in franchise history. Cushing finished the season with five sacks, four interceptions and two forced fumbles.

When you go from Bitch Tits to Beast Mode; there just might be something in the water.

Mr. Laz · 05-07-2010, 06:37 PM

wow ... suspended twice for a total of 8 games.

dude must be a super-roider

I had mentioned this during the year leading up to the draft. He was a second round prospect but some team would fall in love with his body and take him in the first.

Granted, he was certainly worth #15 over but I wonder how well he'll play after the suspension.

**Bane** · 05-07-2010, 06:39 PM

Damn!Goodell got him 2 times this year already!!! BADASS!!!!

Pablo · 05-07-2010, 06:40 PM

Cushing's a doper.

Maualuga's a drunk driving statutory rapist.

And to think, we could have drafted these guys.

USC. USC. USC. USC.

He's a moron for getting caught for roids in a league where the majority of guys are on them...you'd think he'd realize how to not get caught.

So aside from being a roider; he's a massive dumbass that can't even cover up his incredibly obvious substance usage.

It does make him completely stupid, it's pretty obvious to anyone with a pair of eyes the NFL is full of guys on roids, HGH and all sorts of shit.

I personally don't care it's an accepted thing if you are a fan of the sport, but it basically makes him look pretty inept.

Is it really that prevalent in the league?

There probably isn't any way to prove it, but logic would dictate that a kid that is 250 and can run a sub 4.5 40 probably isn't all natural.
