Will Fuller Suspended Six Games For PED Violation

Nov 30, 2020 8:40 PM

Will Fuller V has been suspended six games for a violation of the NFL's policy on performance enhancing substances.

Fuller said the violation was a result of his taking prescribed medication not permitted under the policy.

"Earlier this year, I sought treatment from a medical professional who prescribed medication that he believed to be permitted under the NFL's drug policy," Fuller wrote on Instagram. "As it turns out, my trust in this professional was misplaced because this medication was NOT a permitted substance under the NFL Policy on Performance Enhancing Substances.

"As a result of this mistake, I have been suspended for six games for taking this prohibited medication. I want to sincerely apologize to the Texans organization and all of my fans for this mistake. I am looking forward to putting this all behind me and returning better than ever in 2021."

DeAndre Baker Has All Charges Dropped

Nov 16, 2020 1:00 PM

All charges connected to an alleged robbery with a firearm have been dropped against DeAndre Baker.

Baker originally charged with four counts of armed robbery and four counts of aggravated assault with a firearm for allegedly taking jewelry and cash at gunpoint during a dice game in Miramar, Florida, in May.

Baker was told to remain away from the New York Giants this spring while his legal issue played out.

A South Florida attorney was arrested on Monday for attempting to extort Baker on behalf of three of the alleged victims.

William Dean, 50, was looking for Baker to pay more than $266,000 to each of his clients, who in turn would do "anything you want, so long as the money is right."

 

The victims had already recanted their sworn statements last month in affidavits obtained by ESPN.

Baker was a first round pick in 2019 out of Georgia.
