Quarterback was released by the Dallas Cowboys on Wednesday after testing positive for a banned substance, league sources told FOX NFL Sunday insider John Czarnecki
Two sources told Czarnecki that the banned substance was cocaine. Team owner Jerry Jones and coach Bill Parcells declined to elaborate on the reason behind Carter's release. Said Jones: "It was not a difficult decision for me."
In a story posted on the Dallas Morning-News website Wednesday night, Carter said he was stunned by the team's decision and denied that cocaine was involved.
"I'm shocked. I'm at a loss for words," Carter told the newspaper. "The one thing I know and the people who have been around me all my life know is that cocaine has never been an issue for me. It never will be. And it's disturbing that a rumor like that would come out. ... That cocaine rumor is ridiculous."
