April 21, 2010 – FOXNews and ESPN report that Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger will be suspended for four to six games on Wednesday for violating the NFL’s personal conduct policy.
Ben Roethlisberger violates NFL personal contact policy and is banned 4-6 games.
On Monday, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell said the Steeler’s quarterback violated the NFL’s personal-conduct policy with his “pattern of behavior” and “bad judgments.”
Roethlisberger was accused of sexually assaulting a 20-year-old college student in a Georgia nightclub last month, although he will not face criminal charges. Roethlisberger faced disciplinary action by the NFL following the release of documents outlining tawdry behavior by the two-time Super Bowl winner.
Roethlisberger also is being sued by a different woman who says he raped her in 2008 at a Lake Tahoe hotel-casino. Roethlisberger denies the accusation and was not charged. The NFL is not considering that case while weighing its punishment.
