NEW YORK (AP) — Von Miller was caught trying to manipulate the NFL's drug-testing system, which led to a six-game suspension that could have been longer
Fox wouldn't say whether the team had designated anyone to make sure Miller takes care of his off-the-field matters in a timely fashion to avoid further embarrassment: "I'm not going to get into all our operations,Borussia Dortmund Fanshop, but it'd be fair to say that we have a lot of great resources here," he said.
Miller has also had several other off-field problems. He was cited earlier this month for speeding and driving with a suspended license. At the time, Broncos coach John Fox defended the 2011 Defensive Rookie of the Year,Stitched Jerseys, saying the team is helping Miller stay out of trouble any way it can. He stressed that the infractions were nothing more serious than traffic citations.
Miller was arrested in August when he tried to purchase a weapon and a routine background check revealed an outstanding warrant for failing to appear in court on traffic charges from last year. He also was pulled over near his suburban Denver home this month and cited for speeding and driving with a suspended license.
Miller's six-game suspension was a compromise among the NFL,Shoes From China Online, the players union and Miller's representatives; the league wanted a longer penalty for the third-year player.
