Moffitt Suspended by the NFL

December 7, 2011 By Bill Scott

Former Wisconsin Badger and current Seattle Seahawk rookie guard John

John Moffitt

Moffitt was suspended for four games without pay on Tuesday for violating the NFL’s policy on performance-enhancing substances.

The league announced the suspension will begin immediately even though Moffitt is on injured reserve and out for the season with a right knee injury. 

Moffitt’s agent, Michael George, said that Moffitt’s suspension was due to his use of a prescription drug used to treat hyperactivity.  George said that Adderall, the drug that Moffitt used, is banned under the league’s policy on performance-enhancing substances, unless a player has pre-approval from the league.    Moffitt didn’t get that pre-approval, resulting in the suspension.

Moffitt was a third-round pick of the Seahawks in the most recent NFL Draft.  He started the first 9-games of the season for Seattle before suffering the season ending injury.
