Well Le’Veon when you say that, it would be imperative that you not get caught with weed, or fail a drug test. Suspended Pittsburgh Steelers running back Le’Veon Bell says marijuana does not dictate his life.
In his first interview since his three-game suspension was handed down last month, Bell admits he made a mistake, but says he doesn’t have a problem with cannabis.
“I made a mistake. I’m going to just have to do my time, whatever the final decision may be,” Bell told ESPN’s Josina Anderson. “Get past it, and get ready for next season and continuing to be the great football player I know I can be.”
Bell was suspended April 9 for an incident last summer in which he and LeGarrett Blount were cited for marijuana possession while driving.
“I did everything that they needed me to do and I did it quick,” Bell told Anderson. “So eventually that’s going to be off my record. Obviously, like I said, I still have to do my time that they gave me, but if [the league] were to look into that and all the community service that I did and the classes that I had to take in eventually getting it off my record, that should be something that maybe they consider and help me knock off some time.”
