That suspension will be four games. I want to make it clear that not once did I ever use steroids. I did admit to the commissioner that I did in fact use a banned substance. My purpose was never to gain a competitive edge. Rather my use was solely for the purpose of accelerating the healing process of injuries I sustained while playing football."
That's right, 'injuries he sustained while playing football'. So to answer you question, NO RODNEY DID NOT LIE.

I don't see how anyone can say for sure that Rodney didn't lie concerning the illegal substance abuse. Just for the simple reason he got caught in the first place. Now, there is a story out of Syracuse that he had a prior purchase. We are supposed to ignore this news due to the fact it is coming out of NY? To say he absolutely did not lie is just a little too much of the home town discount. I don't know one way or the other, but wouldn't a Bureau of Narcotics Enforcement be located in NY's state capitol. I hope its a false rumor, but I don't take a football players word as the absolute truth, even if its that of a New England Patriot.
