Ex-49ers safety Gipson takes ‘full responsibility’ for PED suspension
“During this offseason, I took a supplement one time, which I thought to be completely safe and well within any of the NFL’s policies,” Gipson said in a statement released through his agent.
“It was in no way related to performance, training, or gaining an advantage of any kind at any time. I have competed at this level for a long time, and have nothing but respect for the game and the fraternity of players in it.”
“This year, I can see where they have to make a decision, and I think it’s a logical and reasonable decision that they could make that, ‘Hey, instead of re-signing Aiyuk for this number, let’s re-sign these guys, multiple guys, and let Aiyuk walk now,’” Maiocco noted.
