Kwon Alexander appeals suspension, blames energy drink

Kwon Alexander confirmed after today's win against the Philadelphia Eagles that he's facing a four-game PED suspension, and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers linebacker said that he'd appeal the suspension.

Bucs LB Kwon Alexander said he is appealing four-game suspension. Said he took an energy drink he didn't know contained anything banned.

That's the kind of excuse we always hear after someone gets suspended for PEDs so I'd be skeptical of Alexander's claim, but it doesn't really matter: under the NFL PED policy, the way things got into your body doesn't matter.
