(The Sports Xchange) - Tampa Bay
Buccaneers cornerback Jude Adjei-Barimah has been suspended for four
games by the NFL for violating the league's policy on performance
enhancing substances.
Adjei-Barimah's suspension begins with Sunday's game against the
Seattle Seahawks. He will be eligible to return to the active roster
on Dec. 19.
Adjei-Barimah apologized for the situation in a statement released
through the organization.
"I take a lot of pride in the hard work and dedication that I put in
all year in preparation for each season and that is why this
situation is so difficult for me personally," Adjei-Barimah said.
"As a member of this team, it is very disappointing to have to miss
the next four games and not be out there battling with my teammates
as we go down the stretch.
"I apologize to my family, the Bucs organization, my teammates, as
well as the fans for this situation. I promise to stay focused and
be ready for the last two games of the regular season."
