Bell apologizes for being a distraction as Steelers begin (Yahoo Sports)

The wait will be considerably longer for the Pittsburgh Steelers running back, perhaps all the way until October if his appeal for violating the NFL's substance abuse policy is denied. While Bell apologized for being a distraction as the Steelers reported for training camp Thursday, he declined to get into specifics, saying only he was notified in March that he'd been suspended. ESPN.com reported Bell missed a drug test.
