The Las Vegas Raiders defense took a huge hit this week after defensive end Gerald McCoy announced on Twitter that he had tested positive for performance-enhancing drugs and would undergo a six-game suspension for his actions.  The league also announced that McCoy would not be compensated for the six games that he's being forced to sit out, making him miss out on a good chunk of money. The news came only three weeks after McCoy suffered a knee injury during the opening game of the season, resulting in the Raiders placing him on Injury reserve.  

"I love the game of football and have nothing but respect for the players, fans, and this league," McCoy stated in an announcement on Twiter. "I've given my all to this game and worked my entire career to compete, train, and rehabilitate at a high level with integrity. It is with great disappointment that I recently learned I tested positive for a banned substance—something I was prescribed to take to help with scar tissue and tendon strength from a previous injury."
