Report: Steelers WR Santonio Holmes Facing Four-Game Suspension
That’s not where Holmes trouble ends.
According to Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk, Holmes is facing a league-imposed four-game suspension for violating the NFL’s substance abuse policy -- an infraction independent of the drink throwing incident.
We’re not sure what the situation is but a four-game suspension comes after multiple violations of the policy.
Though we're not aware of the specific identity of the substance involved, Holmes has a history with marijuana. In 2008, he was cited for marijuana possession, prompting the Steelers to suspend him for one game with pay. Recently, he posted on Twitter a message indicating an intention to "wake n bake," slang for smoking marijuana upon getting out of bed.
Before this incident, there have been rumblings that Holmes could be on his way out. An ESPN radio report indicated he would prefer to play in a bigger market than Pittsburgh.
After this incident, the former Super Bowl MVP could be getting his wish.
