Linebacker Awarded $5.4 Million in Contaminated Supplement Suit

St. Louis Rams linebacker David Vobora may be sitting idle with his fellow NFL players this summer, but he's resting easier than most. On Monday, Vobora was awarded $5.4 million as a result of a lawsuit he filed against Anti-Steroid Program LLC, also known as SWATS, which supplied him with a contaminated supplement. The award pays him for wages lost during his four-game suspension from the league in 2009 after he tested positive for a banned substance, plus $2 million for damages to his reputation.

U.S. District Court Judge Rodney Sippel of the Eastern District of Missouri ruled that the company's "negligence, breach of implied warranty, intentional misrepresentation, negligent misrepresentation, violation of strict products liability laws, and violation of the Missouri Merchandising Practices Act" had damaged Vobora.
