[SIZE=-1]Former University of Michigan defensive end Rondell Biggs was acquitted Monday afternoon on a felony charge of possession of steroids.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=-1]A Washtenaw County Circuit Court jury deliberated about 15 minutes before finding Biggs not guilty, defense attorney Marc Lakin said.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=-1]"It's good that he cleared his name," Lakin said. "He's always been a clean athlete, and he didn't want his reputation tarnished."[/SIZE]
[SIZE=-1]During his career at Michigan, Biggs started 18 games, including all 13 as a senior in 2006. He had 16 tackles, including six sacks that season. Biggs signed a free agent NFL contract with the Carolina Panthers in 2007, but was waived with an injury settlement that year.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=-1]Last January, he was arrested by state troopers on a traffic violation and during a search of his vehicle, police discovered 10 pills. The pills were later found to be stanozolol, a synthetic anabolic steroid designed to help users lose fat while retaining lean muscle mass.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=-1]According to Lakin, Biggs was told by the person who gave him the steroids that they were "weight-loss pills."[/SIZE]
[SIZE=-1]"The jury definitely felt that there was not enough evidence to convince them that he knowingly possessed a steroid," Lakin said.[/SIZE]
