Wes Welker Suspended Four Games for Amphetamines [UPDATE: Molly]
Wes Welker will be suspended for four games for amphetamines — which fall under the League’s PED policy — according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter. Per NFL Network’s Albert Breer, Welker’s appeal occurred two weeks ago, and the Broncos receiver got word from the league today that he’d lost it.
The Broncos wide receiver’s ability to play in the team’s opener this Sunday had been in question due to a concussion sustained in the preseason, but the team had almost certainly expected to have him back before Week 5. Our site will relay more details about the suspension as they become available.
UPDATE: And then there’s this:
