Golden Tate is appealing a 4 game suspension for violating the NFL PED policy.

This one surprises me. There's nothing about frame or physique that suggests PEDs. If I was asked to name the top 50 WRs most likely to be on PEDs, he wouldn't make my list.

Would he break into the top 100?

I read that it was from fertility treatment

It's what he has come out and said , and i 100% believe him . Prob some stupid ingredient that you would never think to even be in the fertility drug . Some of these substances that are banned are stupid

thing is every NFL player knows they have to check with the league before taking anything. They have a phone number they can call and check and he didnt do that. He is appealing it but I highly doubt it will help because he didnt follow the rules.

Stupid or not, unknowns to him or not he should be aware of knowing what ingredients is in the stuff he takes.

Per the rules "However, according to the NFL's policy on performance-enhancing drugs, it might not be that easy. It states, "Players are responsible for what is in their bodies and a positive test will not be excused because a Player was unaware that he was taking a Prohibited Substance."

No way he wins the appeal. Precedent and others were suspended, in the past, for the same drug
