When news broke that Patriots receiver Julian Edelman is facing a four-game suspension for performance-enhancing drugs, there was an immediate focus on Alex Guerrero, the trainer who is best known for his work with Tom Brady but also works with Edelman. Boston media have already portrayed the Edelman suspension as a sign that Bill Belichick is right to distance the team from Guerrero.
Now Guerrero seems to be distancing himself from Edelman.
Guerrero released a statement saying he is disappointed by Edelman’s suspension and doesn’t condone using banned substances.
