Chargers' Corey Liuget suspended four games by NFL for PED violation

Chargers starting defensive tackle Corey Liuget has been suspended for the first four games of the 2018 season after violating the NFL’s policy on performance-enhancing substances.

“I made a mistake and take full responsibility. As part of my training program, I placed my trust in someone who, in hindsight, was not well-versed in the NFL’s policy on banned substances,” Liuget said in a statement. “As players, we’re told time and again that the NFL holds you responsible for anything in your body. Even if you take it accidentally, it’s on you. Pretty cut and dry.
