Odell Beckham Jr. has confirmed that he will serve a six-game suspension for violating the NFL’s performance-enhancing drug policy. He disclosed this information during an interview on The Pivot. Beckham maintains that he did not intentionally take any banned substances.
Details of Suspension
Beckham’s suspension stems from a drug test conducted during his time with the Miami Dolphins in 2024. The test revealed an abnormal testosterone level. This situation complicates his aspirations to play this season.
