Missed random test is negotiable
http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/story/...andom-drug-test
IRVING, Texas (AP) - Terrell Owens acknowledged Monday having missed a random drug test several weeks ago, blaming it on a "communication problem involving cell phone numbers." He also said he was in New York last week talking about his absence with league officials the day he agreed to a $34 million new contract with the Dallas Cowboys. Owens was not suspended or fined, although he could've been, according to ESPN.com, which first reported the story, citing NFL, team and player sources. The report also said Owens now could face up to 24 tests per year as part of the league's "reasonable cause" testing program for performance-enhancing drugs. More there. Different strokes for different folks. Bill C |

Right now, Football (both types) is in the same era as 60s bike racing. You get caught? Big deal. It's going to be a number of years before it's taken seriously. Seriously, if we study the evolution of doping in cycling, both testing and attitudes, I'll bet you'll find some interesting time-delayed parallels. --Mike Jacoubowsky Chain Reaction Bicycles www.ChainReaction.com Redwood City & Los Altos, CA USA |

Maybe cycling is finally winning the doping fight, but I've lost a lot of my interest in cycling due to all the riders I follow getting kicked out. The teams were always changing and I just couldn't keep track. Then baseball got draggred through a controversey and does it make the sport any better? I hate dallas and all, but I'm perfectly content as a fan to have lackluster testing policies. Even if we think the NFLs policy is a joke, its mostly a joke because the players negotiated a joke policy. If the players don't want to protect their own saftey then I don't have much desire to see the sport reformed. |
