Indianapolis Colts head coach Chuck Pagano has revealed that Robert Mathis has the support of everyone at the club following his suspension.
The 33-year-old will miss the first four games of the 2014 season after he violated the league's policy on performance-enhancing substances.
"We love and respect Robert Mathis," Pagano told reporters. "He's a horseshoe guy, he's a pillar guy, and like I said before, we've got his back.
"Everybody in this organisation has his back and we'll get through this and at the end of the day, we'll all be better for it."
Mathis revealed that the reason he tested positive for PED's was due to the use of a fertility drug.
