According to PEOPLE, Beckham, who is currently a free agent and not signed to any team, was presented with the positive test result while playing for the Miami Dolphins last season. The results showed that he had unusual testosterone levels; instead of accepting the punishment last year, he asked the team to release him, and they obliged to his request.
“I’ve never ran from no test,” Beckham said. “Never failed a test, not once in my life.”
Beckham stated that he was offended that he was being accused of cheating.
“It is a serious thing when you get charged and someone says, ‘You failed for PEDs.’ I don’t take those words lightly,” he said. “But it bothers me because knowing deep down inside I never failed — I mean, I’ve never cheated.”
He expressed to the hosts of the podcast, Ryan Clark, Fred Taylor, and Channing Crowder, that he regrets not taking the suspension right away instead of waiting to accept it now, since it would have been done by now while he has to wait an additional six months to play for a team again — if one is interested in him.
“In hindsight, I should have just taken [the suspension in 2024],” he said. “Had the six games, got punished then, let it blow over.”
Some people let Beckham have it on social media after learning about his suspension.
Beckham has caught 575 passes for 7,987 yards over the course of his career while playing for the Giants, the Cleveland Browns, the Los Angeles Rams, the Baltimore Ravens, and the Dolphins.
