Attorney for Florida's Callaway: Allegation 'has no merit'

GAINESVILLE, Fla. (AP) The attorney for suspended Florida receiver Antonio Callaway says his client was suspended for violating the university's student code of conduct and that the allegation ''has no merit.''

Callaway and quarterback Treon Harris were suspended in late January. Coach Jim McElwain declined to disclose any details about the suspensions this week.

Attorney Huntley Johnson, who is representing Callaway, revealed some specifics in a letter Friday but not the nature of the allegations.

Johnson says Callaway was suspended January 27 for an ''incident which supposedly occurred in early December 2015.'' He says Callaway was suspended pending resolution of the accusation.

Johnson wrote that his law firm ''has conducted its own investigation as to the allegation that is the basis for the suspension. There is no good reason why this investigation has not been closed. This allegation has no merit.''
