Four games is a lot, hopefully with an appeal it was be cut.

He is taking responsibility for his actions with the following statement:
“It’s my fault,’’ Alexander said, via Ira Kaufman of the Tampa Tribune. “It’s very disappointing, and I’m just disappointed in myself because all [our coaches] keep saying, ‘If you’re going to drink something, ask somebody first.’ So I hold myself accountable.’’


If this is indeed the reason why he tested positive, it is hard to argue that he should not be suspended. Hopefully it will not hurt the team too bad because of his laps in judgment. In this day and age all vitamins, supplements, energy drinks, medications should be cleared before you consume or take them. The coaches did their part but he failed to do his. Hopefully he learns a very valuable lesson and picks up where he left off when he gets back.

The suspension has been upheld, after an appeal. Kwon will miss the last 4 games of the season, could return if Bucs make the playoffs.
