Trainer Alex Guerrero Denies Wrongdoing After Julian Edelman PED Suspension

New England Patriots receiver Julian Edelman faces a four-game suspension for reportedly violating the NFL's performance-enhancing drug policy, and trainer Alex Guerrero wants it known that he had nothing to do with the alleged violation.

ESPN's Adam Schefter and Field Yates broke news of the ban Thursday. Later in the day, Guerrero released a statement, via NBC Sports Boston's Tom E. Curran, denying any involvement:
