In the wake of NFL commissioner Roger Goodell upholding the four-game suspension of New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady, a decision Goodell announced Tuesday, ESPN Stats & Info looks at suspensions of notable sports figures (excluding punishment for significant off-field violent offenses):

NFL - Brady: Suspended without pay for four games for “conduct detrimental to the integrity of the NFL.” Brady’s appeal was denied in an announcement Tuesday.

NFL - Paul Hornung and Alex Karras: Hornung, a Packers halfback, and Karras, a defensive tackle for the Lions, were suspended indefinitely in April 1963 for betting on league games and associating with gamblers, or "known hoodlums." Hornung was the league's MVP in 1961. Karras had been an all-league defensive tackle the past three years.

SOCCER – Luis Suarez: Suspended on three occasions for 26 total matches for biting opponents on the field, most recently during the 2014 FIFA World Cup, when the victim was Italy defender Giorgio Chiellini. Suarez was also suspended eight matches for racial abuse of Manchester United defender Patrice Evra when Suarez played for Liverpool.

MLB - Alex Rodriguez: Suspended 162 games (the entire 2014 season) for using performance-enhancing drugs and for his ties to the Biogenic clinic in South Florida. Rodriguez, who turned 40 on Monday, has since returned to the sport and is having one of the best seasons for a player his age in baseball history.

MLB - Pete Rose: Baseball's all-time hits leader was banned for life in 1989 for gambling on the sport.

MLB - George Steinbrenner: The New York Yankees owner was suspended two years in 1974 (the term was reduced to nine months) for federal charges resulting from illegally funneling money to a pro-Nixon re-election committee in exchange for future business considerations.

CYCLING - Lance Armstrong: The U.S. Anti-Doping Agency banned Armstrong from the sport for life for alleged use of illegal performance-enhancing drugs. He was later stripped of all seven of his Tour de France titles.

NHL - Maurice Richard: The future Hall of Famer was suspended for the rest of the 1954-55 season (including playoffs) after a vicious fight with a player and for punching an official.
