Yahoo! Sports - NFL commissioner Roger Goodell is expected to suspend Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger on Monday or Tuesday, according to sources.

Roethlisberger was linked in a recent sexual assault investigation in Milledgeville, Ga., but charges were not filed.

No player has ever been suspended under the league's personal conduct policy without being at least charged with a crime.

Since he hasn't been charged with anything, I don't think he should receive a suspension...at least right now.

I'd think it would be fair to at least wait until a decision is made concerning that entire investigation

Goodell Believes Roethlisberger Violated Conduct Policy

ESPN - NFL commissioner Roger Goodell says that Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger violated the league's conduct policy.

However, speaking on ESPN's "Dan Patrick Show" Goodell would not confirm reports that a suspension is imminent.

"The issue here is with respect to a pattern of behavior and bad judgments," Goodell said on Patrick's radio program.

"You do not have to be convicted or even charged of a crime to be able to demonstrate that you've violated a personal conduct policy, and reflect poorly not only on themselves, but all of their teammates, every NFL player in the league, and everyone associated with the NFL. And that is what my concern is, and I have expressed that directly to Ben, obviously, and I will be making a decision as soon as I possibly can."

I think Goodell is abusing his power as commissioner. I also think that Big Ben is going to get a 4 game suspension.
