I was just about to post that if someone had solid numbers we could figure out the probability of being tested so much. Wiki already did it.

That means 1 out of 588 players should be tested that much each year and there are almost 1700 players in the nfl...

This is nothing new.  Quote from James Harrison from 2 yrs ago saying some guys get tested as many as 9 times.

“Some guys go all year and don’t get a random test,” Harrison said. “Some guys get tested five, six, seven, eight, nine times.”

Something in Reid's background has put him on the testing company's radar screen.

He’s going to be tested 22 times this season. Mark my words.

Hey Veronica Mars - care to share what that “something” in Reid’s background is? I’d love to hear it considering he has never failed a drug test, been arrested, or had any off the field issues that I am aware of. LOL!

3 times in 8 months is really not that bad.

I am sympathetic if he is getting tested this much. 

However, devil's advocate, I have not seen proof that he has gotten tested. No photos of the requests or the results, you would think there would be a paper trail of all of that. 

If he posted proof of each request and or passed test it would go further in gaining sympathy from the public at large, and would even garner media attention/assistance. Granted, he might not legally be allowed to do that, but I would assume he could black out the information that would get him in trouble. 

Saying that, I don't necessarily believe the NFL is telling the truth either. I KNOW they won't provide any proof one way or the other. 

Either way, me personally, I would like more proof over he said she said stuff. 

Yeah. I'm inclined to believe Eric but the way he's going about this isn't helping his case. The NFL's calling you a liar bro, you've gotta come through with receipts.

What u may or may not be aware of is irrelevant.

The NFL & NFLPA have a Reasonable Cause policy under which the Independent Administrator will use to place certain players into the testing program.  If u want to read up on it and learn a bit go to page-8 in the link that follows.  Assuming he is being tested as much as he claims from where I sit the only logical explanation is something in his past has landed him in the Reasonable Cause program.

Easy for those to say who don’t have to constantly get tested, or who isn’t constantly messed with. At some point you have to speak on the wrong done to you.

Anyways, Eric is looking good. 

What wrong? They have a drug testing policy and he gets tested. Without knowing how often other people get tested, how do you know it's right or wrong? If you see an average person walking into a gym looking like that, it's usually a safe assumption that they are on something anabolic. You don't get that muscle mass WHILE remaining that lean without one of two things: steroids or genetics. Oftentimes it's both of those. For Reid, it would appear it's one. But beating the tests isn't that difficult which is why they test continuously. 

Would they be so conspicuous of their malcontent with such a prominent player as Reid to subject him to testing unjustly purely out of an intent to get him out of the league? They would be far more subtle than that. The fun thing about conspiracy theories (like the Trump-Russia Collusion stuff), is that while they are fun to imagine, they most likely aren't true.

Who is to say he is getting tested more than other players though? Even then, who is to say what the motivation for increased testing is? His pictures would be reason enough for me to order testing if I worked for the NFL. It's next to impossible to get that lean while maintaining muscle mass and weight without some muscle growth assistance.

They don't even have to actually spike it. If they really want to send a message to him, a false positive is more than enough to get the job done.

Here's how I see it playing out if the league were dirty: He gets a positive test result the week before a big game, and he is forced to sit. He spends weeks trying to appeal as the league slow-rolls re-running the sample. By the time, they re-run the test, and the league issues a mea culpa, "Oh, there was a mix-up at the lab. Reid's test is clean and he's clear to play," Reid has already missed 3-4 weeks.

I could see that happening honestly.

Based on articles about James Harrison from 2 and 3 years ago he was tested just as much or more than Reid.

[Basbear]

The NFPA did their own investing and came away with NO EVINDENCE that he was being targeted or tested more than normal. So I guess the players union has it out for Reid tooo, correct????

 people with fake agendas and suckas that believe them have become the worst thing in this era.

So you don’t have any facts, only speculation. LOL
