Report: Sooners DE Amani Bledsoe suspended a year for PED violation

Oklahoma DE Amani Bledsoe, who was not with the Sooners on Saturday night against Kansas, has been suspended a year by the NCAA after failing a performance enhancing drug test, according to the Lawrence Journal-World.

OU plans to appeal the suspension, according to the Journal-World.

The Sooners announced Bledsoe's "indefinite suspension" shortly before kickoff Saturday. Coach Bob Stoops said it was for a violation of team rules after Oklahoma's 56-3 victory over the Jayhawks.

Bledsoe was previously listed at No. 2 on the depth chart behind Austin Roberts. He saw playing time in each of the last five games and has recorded three tackles this season.
