Asked if he could definitively say he had never done steroids, Fowler replied, "I can tell you that."

"I'm really not thinking of that [suspension] as a possibility. I think it will all get cleared up before then," Fowler said after a minicamp practice. "My reputation my whole life has been as a good guy. I hope that this one accusation doesn't taint my reputation that's been pretty clean."
Fowler was linked to convicted steroids dealer David Jacobs, who was found dead with a female companion in his Plano, Texas, home earlier this month. Police say Jacobs killed himself and his girlfriend.
Before his death, Jacobs told The Dallas Morning News that he supplied Fowler with performance-enhancing drugs before and after the 2006 season.
Fowler's attorney, Peter Ginsberg, said last week that Fowler was under investigation by the NFL and was notified that he faces suspension. Ginsberg said he assumed the investigation stemmed from the Jacobs case.
Fowler declined comment Wednesday when asked if he had a relationship with Jacobs.
