RENTON, Wash. (AP) - Seattle Seahawks rookie safety Winston Guy has been suspended for four games without pay for violating the NFL's policy on performance-enhancing substances.

The league announced the suspension Tuesday. He will begin the suspension immediately and will be eligible to rejoin Seattle's active roster Dec. 17.

Guy's agent, Greg Linton, says the positive test was the result of an ingredient found in an over-the-counter supplement that his client took. He says Guy has no intentions of appealing his suspension and called it an innocent mistake.

Guy, a sixth-round pick out of Kentucky, has been active for only two of 10 games this season.

    Bad mistake but very good idea to own up to it. Pay your dues and move on ... and maybe you'll see the field in the near future.

    So what was this supplement that he took? Surely if it was a result of an ingredient in it then they would surely lift the suspension. Sounds like he got caught and is trying to deflect blame.

    The NFL has about 2,000 players... most are built superhuman. PED is more prevelant than anyone wants to admit. Look at Lance Armstrong, he was under the most rigorous testing of any sport and got away with PEDs for a decade. The reason for the increased concussions is the same reason for that home runs increased, it wasn't about better baseballs.... bigger faster stronger. And we love it.
