Tennessee Titans offensive lineman Taylor Lewan announced on Wednesday that he's facing a four game suspension for violating the league’s policy against performance-enhancing substances.
Lewan claimed he unknowingly took a substance containing ostarine. He posted photos of a polygraph test on Instagram that he says proves he didn't cheat the game.
Former Titans defensive back Bernard Pollard, however, isn't having it. He tweeted a ranting video on Wednesday afternoon that absolutely shreds Lewan. Pollard says in his video that it's no coincidence that Lewan was busted after receiving a lucrative extension last offseason.
It's not for me to decide whether or not Lewan knowingly took a banned substance. But Pollard's logic seems a bit flawed. He's suggesting Lewan was busted after getting his extension because he'd already "got paid". That doesn't make much sense. Mostly because Lewan won't get paid while he's suspended.
Why risk losing money when Lewan had already landed a big contract?
Lewan and Pollard were teammates during the 2014 season.
