Of course he does. He was taking supplements just like the vast majority of NFL players. One of them was obviously containing a banned substance. That's on him.

You are the one rushing to judgement. The players have FAR too much to lose to knowingly take a banned substance. However, as that article points out, it is fairly common for supplements to be tainted.

It takes way more than a trace amount of any banned substance to have any performance enhancing capability. That is a fact. There is no way you could ever mask that much. That why it makes no sense to ever knowingly take anything.

Onyemata is guilty of breaking the rules. It matters not if it was unknowingly as is in virtually every banned substance case.

That is unfair, however.
