Harrison denies using PEDs, sends affidavit to NFL (Yahoo Sports)

Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker James Harrison said in an affidavit sent to the NFL that he never met nor communicated with the source of a media report that linked him and other players to the use of performance-enhancing drugs. The NFL Players Association sent a letter on Harrison's behalf along with the signed affidavit to NFL executive Adolpho Birch on Monday. ''Neither the CBA nor the Policy state that a player must agree to an in-person interview based upon random, baseless verbal remarks or face discipline for a failure to cooperate with a league investigation,'' union attorney Heather M. McPhee wrote.
