Odell Beckham Jr. has formally accepted a six-game suspension from the NFL for violating the league\u2019s performance-enhancing drugs policy, delaying his bid to return this season. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
During an appearance on The Pivot Podcast<\/em>, Beckham said he failed a PED test while with the Miami Dolphins last season and maintained that he did not deliberately take any banned substances. He was told by the league that his testosterone levels were too high. The suspension is now official, appearing on the NFL\u2019s transaction wire, with Beckham ineligible to play until Week 12.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Beckham, who will be 33 by the time the suspension is up, expressed his intention to return this season. He also mentioned several franchises he might join, including the Pittsburgh Steelers, Kansas City Chiefs, Los Angeles Rams and the New York Giants. Previously released by the Dolphins in December, Beckham had tallied just nine catches for 55 yards across nine games.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Odell Beckham Jr. has formally accepted a six-game suspension from the NFL for violating the league\u2019s performance-enhancing drugs policy, delaying his bid to return this season. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3322,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[19],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3321","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-sports"],"acf":[],"rttpg_featured_image_url":{"full":["https:\/\/theamshift.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/obj.webp",2560,1440,false],"landscape":["https:\/\/theamshift.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/obj.webp",2560,1440,false],"portraits":["https:\/\/theamshift.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/obj.webp",2560,1440,false],"thumbnail":["https:\/\/theamshift.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/obj-150x150.webp",150,150,true],"medium":["https:\/\/theamshift.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/obj-300x169.webp",300,169,true],"large":["https:\/\/theamshift.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/obj-1024x576.webp",640,360,true],"1536x1536":["https:\/\/theamshift.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/obj-1536x864.webp",1536,864,true],"2048x2048":["https:\/\/theamshift.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/obj-2048x1152.webp",2048,1152,true],"digital-newspaper-featured":["https:\/\/theamshift.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/obj-1020x700.webp",1020,700,true],"digital-newspaper-list":["https:\/\/theamshift.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/obj-600x400.webp",600,400,true],"digital-newspaper-thumb":["https:\/\/theamshift.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/obj-300x200.webp",300,200,true],"digital-newspaper-small":["https:\/\/theamshift.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/obj-150x95.webp",150,95,true],"digital-newspaper-grid":["https:\/\/theamshift.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/obj-400x250.webp",400,250,true]},"rttpg_author":{"display_name":"admin","author_link":"https:\/\/theamshift.com\/?author=1"},"rttpg_comment":0,"rttpg_category":"Sports<\/a>","rttpg_excerpt":"Odell Beckham Jr. has formally accepted a six-game suspension from the NFL for violating the league\u2019s performance-enhancing drugs policy, delaying his bid to return this season.","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/theamshift.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3321","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/theamshift.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/theamshift.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theamshift.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theamshift.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=3321"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/theamshift.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3321\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3323,"href":"https:\/\/theamshift.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3321\/revisions\/3323"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theamshift.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/3322"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/theamshift.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=3321"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theamshift.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=3321"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theamshift.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=3321"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
