Dolphins Suspend Richie Incogito Amid Investigation

 

on Sunday morning, the Miami Dolphins dismissed allegations

of bullying by one of its players as "speculation." By Sunday night, the team had suspended veteran guard Richie Incognito for conduct detrimental to the team.

"We believe in maintaining a culture of respect for 

one another and as a result we believe this decision is in the best interest of the organization at this time," the Dolphins said in 

a statement. "As we noted earlier, we reached out to the NFL to conduct an objective and thorough review. 

We will continue to work with the league on this matter."

Dolphins guard Richie Incognito was adamant on Twitter this weekend that he was a victim of false speculation that he bullied Jo
nathan Martin, and wanted his name cleared.

The Miami Dolphins are going to wait to see what the NFL says about Incognito's innocence.

The Dolphins have suspended Incognito while the NFL investigates the situation, NFL.com's Jeff Darlington reported after speaking to Incognito. The team announced the suspension shortly after that.

Martin, the second-year offensive tackle from Stanford, left the team last week and has 

not returned. Fox Sports first reported teammates pulled a prank in the cafeteria on Martin, who smashed his tray and took off.

In a statement released Saturday by the union, the NFLPA stressed its concern about players being provided a "safe and professional workplace."

"We have an obligation to protect and support all of our members," the statement said. "We take official investigations very seriously and in this case, we have not launched an investigation into Richie Incognito or other players in Miami."

Incognito took to Twitter to defend himself Sunday morning.

"@espn shame on you for attaching my name to false speculation," Incognito wrote in one of the tweets. "I won't be holding my breathe (sic) for an apology."
