ASHBURN, Va. -- Defensive lineman Albert Haynesworth was suspended without pay by the Washington Redskins on Tuesday for the last four games of the regular season, capping a saga that began last offseason.

The Redskins said the move was made because of "conduct detrimental to the club."

Haynesworth skipped offseason workouts, boycotted a mandatory minicamp, needed 10 days to pass a conditioning test at training camp, did all he could to resist a change in the defensive scheme and then eventually became a part-time player.

In the team's statement Tuesday, Shanahan said Haynesworth "repeatedly refused to cooperate with our coaching staff in a variety of ways over an extended period of time."

The articles continues to say Haynesworth "consistently indicated" to coaches he wouldn't play in certain defensive packages and refused to follow coaches' instructions in practice and during games. And "unnamed sources" claim he showed up for practice Friday hungover. WOW (if true).
