Houston Texans linebacker Brian Cushing drew a 10-game suspension Wednesday for a PED violation - the second drug-related infraction of his career. For one former teammate of Cushing's, the news didn't come as a surprise.

Former Texans fullback Vonta Leach responded to the news with a tweet claiming that Cushing has "always juiced." Though Leach has since deleted the tweet, it was captured and saved by various Twitter users.

Cushing blamed his previous violation on overtraining, an excuse Leach appeared to scoff at in his online message.

Leach and Cushing were teammates in the 2009 and 2010 seasons.
