New Orleans Saints quarterback Jake Haener said he did not knowingly consume a banned substance after testing positive for it, a violation of the NFL’s performance-enhancing drugs policy, though he’s owning up to the mess and preparing to serve the league-mandated six-week suspension to start his rookie season.
“I would never knowingly cheat the game that I love, however I must take full responsibility for the failed test,” Haener shared in a statement from his official Instagram account, apologizing to the Saints as an organization as well as his friends and family for creating a distraction at such an important part of the NFL’s calendar. Hopefully he learns from the experience and is more careful in the future.
