Vikings' Asher Allen retires at age 24
NEW YORK, May 30 (UPI) -- Defensive tackle Josh Evans of the New York Jets may be about to be suspended by the NFL for again violating the league's substance abuse policy.
The New York Times reported Friday that three people familiar with the results of a recent test for marijuana taken by Evans came up positive.
The paper said Evans vehemently denied using pot, and has appealed the test results.
He has been suspended twice before, and could be banned if the appeal fails.
"I did not use or smoke marijuana," Evans told the paper. "I didn't smoke, I didn't use marijuana in no type of way."
The paper said that, because of past transgressions while with the Tennessee Titans, Evans is tested up to 10 times a month, and that his cooperation with the treatment program he now is undertaking would be taken into consideration should he face a suspension.
Jets General Manager Terry Bradway has declined comment.
