Former star receiver Odell Beckham Jr., not currently on an NFL team, accepted a six-game suspension from the league after failing a drug test.
Beckham told 'The Pivot Podcast' on Tuesday that the ban stems from a test he took last season while he was playing for the Miami Dolphins. He was told that his testosterone levels were too high, but he maintains he never knowingly took any performance-enhancing substances.
'You can say whatever you want about me,' Beckham said on the podcast. 'I stand firm in knowing who I am today. I ain't never cheated anybody but myself. I'm going to stand on that and I'm going to keep it going.'
With the suspension officially starting on Tuesday, Beckham would be unable to suit up for an NFL team before the Week 12 games of Nov. 20-24.
Beckham named several teams he would like to join.
'You're going to see me, maybe with the Steelers or the Rams or if the Chiefs want to call me,' he said on The Pivot. 'Then I'll be playing in a Super Bowl this year.'
Beckham, 32, was a three-time Pro Bowl selection in his first three NFL seasons with the New York Giants from 2014-16. He remained with the Giants through 2018, then played for the Cleveland Browns (2019-21), the Rams (2021), the Baltimore Ravens (2023) and the Dolphins (2024). He was part of Los Angeles' Super Bowl-winning squad.
Across 10 NFL seasons, Beckham has 575 receptions for 7,987 yards and 59 touchdowns.
