New Orleans, LA (Best E Casino) - New Orleans Saints guard Jamar Nesbit was suspended four games without pay on Tuesday by the National Football League for a violation of its substance abuse policy.

The suspension begins immediately, which means the 31-year-old will not be eligible to return until October 20, one day after the Saints' contest against division-rival Carolina.

"We are disappointed in the suspension of Jamar," said Saints executive vice president and general manager Mickey Loomis. "We will support Jamar through this process and look forward to having him rejoin the team soon."

In the New Orleans Times-Picayune on Tuesday, Nesbit revealed that he thinks the suspension came as a result of an unlisted ingredient in an over-the- counter body-cleansing product he purchased in the offseason.

The veteran insisted that he checked all listed ingredients against a list of substances banned by the NFL, but as he could not argue with the results of the positive test, has waived his right to appeal.
