The Houston Texans' defense took a major blow Friday when defensive rookie of the year Brian Cushing learned he is being suspended four games for violating the NFL's steroid policy, according to league sources.

Cushing appealed the league's decision at a hearing at the NFL scouting combine in February but was informed Friday his appeal had been rejected, according to sources.

Cushing will be allowed to participate in training camp with the Texans this summer, but then will serve his four game suspension to start of the 2010 regular season.

Cushing's attorney, Harvey Steinberg, did not return telephone calls seeking comment.

The Texans defense will suffer without Cushing, especially considering that its first game of the season is against the defending AFC South champion Indianapolis Colts. Cushing will also miss games against the Washington Redskins, Dallas Cowboys and Oakland Raiders.

Cushing, who was voted to the Pro Bowl, had 133 tackles, helped lead the Texans to a 9-7 record, their first winning record in franchise history. Cushing finished the season with five sacks, four interceptions and two forced fumbles.

So does CMIII inherit the DROY?

No wonder he racked up so many tackles. I wonder if this will wind up being another Merriman situation. After he tested positive for roids he hasn't been nearly as productive.

The only thing that scares me a tiny bit.. all three of the USC backers had rumors.. time will hopefully tell in our favor.

I was thinking about that, as well. I figure that we'll find out soon enough.

Statement from Texans ...

"We were disappointed to learn that Brian has been suspended for the first four games of the 2010 season. Brian is a productive member of our team and this is a significant loss, but we have to be prepared to win without him," Smith said.



Disappointed to learn he was suspended? REALLY? You fucking douchebag how about being disjointed that he was using STEROIDS! Fucking idiot.

So is this incident based on his college days, or did it occur sometime over the 09 season?

I think it would have had to have taken place during the 2009 season. This makes me nervous about Clay. If he has taken steroids (hopefully he hasn't, but I'm trying to be realistic), I hope this incident gets him to stop.
