Brad Biggs, of the Chicago Sun-Times, reports Chicago Bears FB Obafemi Ayanbadejo will be suspended for the first four games of the NFL regular season for failing a drug test. Ayanbadejo was informed Tuesday, Aug. 7, that he lost an appeal to the league for having an anti-estrogen component in his system during a random drug test back in January while he was a member of the Arizona Cardinals. Ayanbadejo said he plans to pursue legal action against the maker of Max LMG, as he believes it was not properly labeled and led to his positive test. "What was in my system was not a steroid," he said. "There's a difference between an anabolic steroid and an anti-estrogen component. But the league considers that a related substance. I took a supplement that had an anti-estrogen component and I did not know it was contained in the supplement."
