Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 21 Oct, 19:08 · Archive

49ers owner Jed York has returned from a six-game suspension imposed after his arrest for soliciting sex in Ohio in August.

Jed York, owner of the San Francisco 49ers, has returned from a six-game suspension and $500,000 fine after violating NFL policies. York was arrested in August for attempting to pay $140 for sex at a trailer park in Ohio.

York attended NFL owners meetings this week, marking his return to league business. He declined to comment as he left the meetings on Wednesday. Commissioner Roger Goodell addressed York's punishment and the broader implications for the league's conduct standards, stating that the NFL's personal conduct policy applies to owners, commissioners and everyone else in the organisation, not just players.

Goodell emphasised that the responsibility to represent the NFL and its organisations properly extends beyond the locker room. 'We saw a violation; we've dealt with it from a discipline standpoint. That's concluded,' Goodell said of York's case. 'So he'll be back representing the 49ers.' Goodell's comments stressed that whilst York's suspension is over, the expectation that he uphold organisational standards continues.
