Washington (AFP) - New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady fired back at the NFL upholding a four-game ban on him in the "Deflate-gate" saga, taking to Facebook on Wednesday to defend himself.
"I am very disappointed by the NFL's decision to uphold the 4 game suspension against me," Brady posted on his Facebook page. "I did nothing wrong, and no one in the Patriots organization did either."
One of the most high-profile athletes in American sport, Brady was found by Goodell to have been at least "generally aware" of a plot by Patriots staff to improperly reduce the air pressure of balls used by Brady during the American Conference final against Indianapolis earlier this year.
