UPDATE: (11/18/2014)
CNN is reporting that the Minnesota Vikings star running back Adrian Peterson will be suspended without pay for the rest of the 2014 NFL season, according to an NFL statement.
He will not be reinstated before April 15 because he violated the league's personal conduct policy "in an incident of abusive discipline that he inflicted on his four-year-old son last May," the league said.
ORIGINAL STORY:
(CNN) -- The NFL
is set to hold a grievance hearing Monday that could put running back Adrian
Peterson back on the gridiron, but the hearing follows a weekend of debate over
whether the league is treating the Minnesota Vikings star fairly.
Peterson
has been on the NFL's exempt/commissioner's permission list -- which kept him off the
field, with pay -- since September, after allegations he disciplined his
4-year-old son too harshly with a "switch" or thin stick. Initially
charged with felony child abuse, Peterson
pleaded no contest to misdemeanor reckless assault earlier this month.
The running
back avoided jail time, receiving probation, community service and a $4,000
fine. The Judge then sealed Peterson's case file!
NFL says that he must attend a league hearing to have the exempt status lifted.
The NFL told the NFL Players Association in September that Peterson would be
removed from the list once the charges against him were adjudicated.
The matter of a Friday review of his case, however, has the NFL
and NLFPA at odds, as the league claims Peterson skipped the review.
Peterson also has provided only "cursory materials" in
response to the NFL's request for more information on the case, the statement
said.
The NFL official told CNN alternative dates were offered for last
week's review, but they were deemed unacceptable, so the NFL conducted the
review without Peterson present.
"We had hoped that Adrian would take advantage of his
opportunity to be heard and present whatever information he believes should be
considered before a decision on discipline, counseling and services is made.
Because he and the NFLPA elected not to do so, we will have to address this
based on the information currently available to us," the official said.
Peterson says the claims of him missing the meeting are “not true."
He stated,
He stated,
"At this point, I've resolved my matter in
the criminal court; I've worked to make amends for what I've done; I've missed
most of the season, and I stand ready to be candid and forthcoming with (NFL
Commissioner Roger) Goodell about what happened. However, I will not allow the
NFL to impose a new process of discipline on me, ignore the (collective
bargaining agreement), ignore the deal they agreed to with me, and behave
without fairness or accountability.”
"The process they are pushing is arbitrary,
inconsistent, and contrary to what they agreed to do, and for those reasons, I
never agreed to the hearing."
Photos
obtained by TMZ allegedly show Peterson's son's leg covered in marks.Some of the marks in the photo
appeared to have broken the skin.
