FLORHAM PARK, N.J. — Calvin Pace has rejoined the New
York Jets after completing a four-game suspension for violating the NFL's policy
on performance-enhancing substances.
The linebacker, who participated in training camp and
preseason games, was suspended in July without pay for testing positive for a
banned substance. After he was alerted at the end of last season of the test
result, Pace sent in the supplements he took to the league, but lost his appeal.
Pace hasn't specified what he took, only saying it was
"something that you can get at any GNC."
His pass-rushing presence will add to a defense that has
been outstanding even without him. The Jets rank fifth in overall defense and
have allowed just three offensive touchdowns.
