Agent: Suspension over, Broncos cut Sauerbrun

DENVER -- Denver cut punter Todd Sauerbrun on Tuesday, the day he was supposed to come back from a four-game suspension for using a banned dietary supplement, his agent said.

David Canter told The Associated Press the Broncos informed him they were keeping Paul Ernster, who has kicked well in Sauerbrun's absence.

Sauerbrun, a 12-year veteran, said he knowingly took an over-the-counter weight-loss product this summer that he strongly suspected contained ephedra, which the NFL banned after the death of Minnesota Vikings offensive tackle Korey Stringer during training camp in 2001. Players are randomly tested and can be suspended after the first violation.

How interesting. Maybe they should've just cut him for using steroids.

Serious? These guys can't even take Sudafed for a cold/congestion/stuffy now or that plain ol "blah" feeling?
