49ers' Charvarius Ward Rips 'Steroid Boy' DeAndre Hopkins After MNF Win vs. Cardinals

Charvarius Ward went so far as to call the wideout a "steroid boy" on Monday.

He thinks he's a tough guy. Ward told 49ers radio broadcasters Greg Papa and Tim Ryan after the 49ers' 38-10 win over the Cards in Mexico City that he doesn't think he's the best receiver in the league.

He said that he was locked up. He was doing things that weren't sanitary. He tried to grab me. I don't respect his game because he grabbed my facemask. He is a steroid boy.

Despite the absence of starting quarterback Kyler Murray, the team's leader in catches for 91 yards, was well-manicured with nine catches for 92 yards. Ward had a difficult start to the game. In the second half, he only had two catches for 14 yards.

The NFL suspended him for six games after he tested positive for ostarine, a performance enhancing drug. He said he didn't knowingly take the substance.

According to Bob McManaman of the Arizona Republic, there was 0.1 percent found in his system. You know what it is if you know what it is. I don't like taking supplements. I don't take supplements. I don't take a lot of vitamins.

The 49ers are in first place in the West. TheCardinals fell to 4-7
