In 1993, Moore was sentenced to a six-month pretrial diversion program for steroid possession along with former New York Giants teammate Mark Duckens. They were described by federal agents as "pawns in international steroid ring."[2] Moore was also suspended for the first four weeks of the 1993 NFL season.[3]

Moore lived in the Wolf Creek subdivision in Macon, Georgia for a while and his nickname in college was "PK".[4]
