He was suspended for four games during the 2008–2009 season for using a performance-enhancing drug. He had been using StarCaps to drop water weight, which contained the illegal loop diuretic bumetanide, which is used to mask steroids or performance-enhancing drugs (PEDs). While serving his suspension, he lost his starting job to Carl Nicks. In 2010, Nesbit sued the NFL, claiming that they knew that bumetanide (a prescription medication) was in StarCaps (an over the counter product recommended my the New Orleans Saints training staff), but they did not notify any of the players.[1]
