Why didn't his agent know that beforehand? I guess this is all a simple misunderstanding.


I haven't talked to his agent, have you? Perhaps his agent informed the NFL and all of the teams that this outcome was a possibility. It's a flagged test, regardless, but I have no reason not to accept their explanation at this point. Of course I'm not one of those who get erections when some sort of situation potentially casts a negative light on the program.

Uh, sorry, but according to the NFL, he did

A similar case, Von Miller

Miller's diluted sample counted as a positive test and led to notification of his four-week suspension under the NFL's substance-abuse policy

It is common knowledge that one way to beat a "positive" result is to "dilute" by doing just that. Most people know that, and are making the same assumption that this "dilution" is to hide a "positive" for some banned substance.
So knowing that, having that result, without knowing the guy, is suspicious at least.

Seems a re-test the next day would explain yes or no

in the vast majority of testing scenarios, a diluted sample counts as a positive, for reasons that should be obvious

now, that doesn't mean that mett had done drugs, but the sample counts as a positive drug test. i'm sure he had the opportunity to be re-tested

Von Miller's was a little different since he tampered with it, which helped lead to a 6 game suspension instead of 4

He managed to spill the samples on the first test then added to it on his next test hours later. He was also already in the program for testing positive for a variety of drugs including coke

So not really a similar case at all, but League Champ gonna league

I think the injury to his back is bigger than the deputed test. He's the type of Qb who is going to get hit. They just said for a back up role he would be fine, but as a starter there's still a lot of questions about how his back will hold up.

God you are such a tool. How was he able to get by LSU's drug testing which is way more strict than the NFL's?

Exactly. Synthetic weed wasn't a required test and isn't tested in the NFL. And we suspended him for it

Honey badger was a heisman candidate

5 hour energy at LSU used to flag it for being a masking agent

Did you hear the analysis? His off the field issues caused him to plummet down the draft. Read some other posts on other boards here. The NFL teams don't trust him.

Do you see your test? Or you took it and nit another word was spoken of it? Also id bet it depends when you drink said water. I dont know if he somkes weed. For all I know he took some adderall and was trying to mask that. Or maybe, just maybe, his piss was diluted from actually drinking too much water. Not because he was hiding anything.
