Following the ruling, Tate responded via Twitter, saying he was really hoping his case would be an exception and that nobody is more upset with the NFL’s decision.

When Tate was originally suspended, he released a statement explaining that the drug he took was prescribed to him by a fertility specialist and when he found out it was on the NFL’s banned substance list, he immediately discontinued use and reported it to the league.
