Giants LB Justin Hilliard explained the league’s decision in a statement on social media
Giants linebacker Justin Hilliard has received a two-game suspension for violating the NFL’s policy on performance-enhancing substances, the team announced Friday.
Hilliard, 25, explained the NFL’s decision in a statement on Twitter, revealing he accidentally took a banned diuretic which led to the suspension. “I have been informed by the NFL that I tested positive for a banned diuretic - Spironolactone ,” he wrote. “After investigation, it became clear that I mistakenly took my partner’s prescription medication instead of my own anti-inflammatory prescription. I am well aware of the NFL’s zero-tolerance policy, and I take full responsibility for having a banned substance in my body.”
