Robert Nkemdiche denies using synthetic marijuana, apologizes for hotel incident

According to Robert Nkemdiche, synthetic drugs did not play a part in the bizarre hotel incident that left him hospitalized over the weekend.

I want to apologize to Rebel Nation, my teammates and my coaches for my actions last weekend. I made a mistake and put myself in an environment that does not reflect who I am as a person. Contrary to a report by FOX Sports, I did not use synthetic drugs. I realize the dangers of drugs and alcohol and regret the lapse in judgement. This does not reflect the core values that my mother and father instilled in our family.
