17th September, 2005 - 2:42 pm
TBO.com - Rookie fullback Rick Razzano received a four game suspension on Friday for violating the NFL's substance-abuse policy after being arrested for driving under the influence.

Razzano learned the news of the suspension only hours after learning offensive assistant coach Jay Gruden's (brother of head coach Jon Gruden) arrest on a charge of driving under the influence.

"Before becoming a member of the Buccaneers, while training, I used a substance which has been tested and found to be in violation of the league policy," Razzano said in a statement. "I take full responsibility for my mistake and encourage all athletes to be fully aware of all substances which may be prohibited by the NCAA or their respective sports and leagues.

"I apologize to my family, my coaches, teammates, the ownership and Buccaneer fans for the embarrassment and distraction I have caused. Let my experience be a further lesson for all." [READ]
