So Eric Reid was “Stretching The Truth”

[doggish_098]

The report generated by the NFL-NFLPA joint administrator for the PED testing program concludes that Eric Reid wasn’t targeted for random testing. It also concludes he wasn’t tested as often as he has suggested.

Mark Maske of the Washington Postreports, and PFT has confirmed, that the investigation commissioned by the NFL and the NFLPA reveals that Reid was not tested as many times as he claimed to be tested.

That’s one of the possible explanationswe identified several weeks back, as Reid’s repeated complaints about retaliation for his collusion grievance gathered steam. Many assumed Reid was providing accurate information about the raw number of tests when, according to the report generated by the independent company that has administered the PED testing program for at least 25 years, Reid wasn’t.

According to a source with knowledge of the situation, Reid was tested on a number of occasions that would fall within the characterization of “normal” — no more, and no less.

Reid has yet to react to the NFL-NFLPA statement or to the news that he wasn’t tested as often as he claimed to have been tested. If he disputes the findings of the report, he can always file a grievance or pursue other legal action.

Don’t look good for the player when the league and the Union are releasing joint statements

Is this like a grand jury/internal affairs investigating killer cops?

I'm sure there was no bias at all..

Conspiracy, the NFL Union is the worst of any sports. Fuck them

Let's hope he has 6 more of these

This is so unprofessional and sneaky by the league. What's the chances of him keeping these random pieces of paper. Hopefully he recorded alteast a few just to show the targeting

So who is telling the truth? Where is the evidence? Shit is simple to resolve.

 

[pookie]

How come the league didn’t say a NUMBER? Talking all that normal amount of times shit. I bet some players haven’t been tested at all, some one or two, etc.... say a number

NFL has randomly selected Eric Reid to drug test FIVE times NFLPA defends OWNERS!

INTENTIONALLY FALSE HEADLINE

Eric Reid has been very specific in the claim that he was tested SEVEN times - ONCE regularly and SIX times randomly. No where does the joint statement suggest that Reid was "stretching the truth" or that the actual number was more or less than he claimed. It ONLY stated that the "randomly generated computer algorithm" was "within the normal limit".

Why not just state an exact number of how many times he WAS tested? Eric will likely give permission on request for you to " breach his confidentiality" and confirm that he was telling the truth all along. And if the concern is about confidentiality, why not state the range of the so-called "normal limit" to give readers some sort of context?

Here is the actual doublespeak statement:


https://www.nflpa.com/news/joint-statement-collectively-bargained-drug-policy

JOINT STATEMENT ON COLLECTIVELY BARGAINED PERFORMANCE ENHANCING DRUG POLICY


"We take any claim questioning the integrity of our collectively bargained performance enhancing drug policy seriously. We asked the independent administrator of the policy to review and produce a report on the claims of targeting. A copy of this report, which contains personal and confidential testing information, has been provided to Eric Reid. We will not breach any player’s confidentiality, but can confirm that the report documents the dates he was randomly selected for testing and the actual dates of the drug tests. The report also demonstrates that Mr. Reid’s tests were randomly generated via computer algorithm and that his selection for testing was normal when compared with the number of tests players were randomly selected for throughout the league during the time that he was on an active roster. There is no evidence of targeting or any other impropriety with respect to his selection for testing."

They should have investigated the union for collusion as far back as Gene Upshaw.

Let's not give the worst union in professional sports too much credibility

Why didn'tthe league simply refute Reid when he made the accusations the first or second time instead of waiting until now to do so? That should have been pretty easy to do.

 

[durham]

The NFL players pay their OWN union to lead in disrespecting them.

Why not show how many times he was tested, for the number of games played and THEN find me one white player that was tested just as many times.

Man Fuck the NFL

 

[Hey Julian!]

I'll say this since I get randomly tested being in the Reserves. I had one year where I got pulled for a urinalysis 5 times. It was crazy. I have friend the works in that area and I was asking him what's going with this all the tests I'm getting pulled for? Previously it was maybe once every 1.5 years. He said it's just algorithm based and some people just get lucky like that.

 

[Soul On Ice]

The same union that let Kaepernick get White Balled?
The same union that is mocked as being the weakest of the major sports?

I don't believe a DAMN thing those faggits say.
not a word.

 

[dirkthesuave]

Fuck the NFL owners, fuck the players union which is an extension of the owners. The only explanation I've heard that makes sense is that Reid is in the drug program which comes with increased testing but I doubt that's it or else he wouldn't smartly call bs knowing that. Also these are supposedly "random" so again fuck the NFL

 

[kidmegaii]

Conspiracy, the NFL Union is the worst of any sports. Fuck them

Even worse than the NHL's union. SMH

 

[AwwSchitt]

So they release a general statement and we’re supposed to believe it?

“Oh he was tested normally. No more, no less.”

The NFL is really on some Donald Trump bullshit.
