Cushing out 4 games for Steroids

[nunusguy]

Texans linebacker Brian Cushing issued a statement Saturday about his four-game suspension imposed by the NFL for a violation of its drug policy.

The statement, issued through his agent Tom Condon, reads:
"I was substance-tested randomly by the NFL during the 2009 season. The results of those tests indicated the presence of a non-steroidal banned substance. The League acted to suspend me based on those results, which I challenged in my appeal of the suspension. I believe we presented compelling evidence during the appeal process to challenge the test results, and I disagree with and am disappointed by the suspension. Bound by the decision of the League, I regret the situation it presents to the Texans’ organization, my teammates, and our fans. My dedication to a championship season in 2010 continues undeterred."
Cushing will miss games against Indianapolis, Washington, Dallas and Oakland.
