Goodell doesn't expect more league ties to N.Y. steroids ring

Sept. 6, 2007

Commissioner Roger Goodell has no knowledge that any other NFL personnel are involved in an Internet drug operation being investigated by the Albany (N.Y.) District Attorney's office.

The investigation led to the recent suspensions of New England Patriots safety Rodney Harrison and Dallas Cowboys quarterbacks coach Wade Wilson.

A third NFL person involved in the investigation was Dr. Richard Rydze, one of the Pittsburgh Steelers' team doctors. He earlier had been fired by the team.

Harrison was suspended for the first four games of the season for violating the league's substance-abuse policy.

Wilson was suspended for five games and fined $100,000 for buying and using performance-enhancing substances.
