Dolphins Suspend Richie Incogito Amid Investigation
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.
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."
The Miami Dolphins are going to wait to see what the NFL says about Incognito's innocence.
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."
