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

Did u read the info abt Reasonable Cause on page-8 of the NFLPA's document that outlines rules for the drug testing regimen they agreed to? 

If so, do u understand it?

(note: page-8 of the pdf, page-5 based on the document index)

True, i mean hey its not like the NFL has NEVER lied about anything to cover their own asses. 

So there is a conspiracy between the owners and the players union to put Eric in his place?   I guess this is the week for conspiracy theories to see the light of day.   I love Eric on this team and love what he stan.....err....kneels for.....but can his supporters take a minute to consider the facts say he is not being tested at the absurd rate he claims?

“What you do or don’t know is irrelevant”

then he goes on to speculate why Reid is being harassed by his employer by “random” drug testing, presenting no credible evidence. 

Also, what kind of loser fanboy has the NFLPA handbook saved on his desktop? LOL

I will take that as a no u haven't read it, and by default u don't understand it (might not even if u did read it).  Ur loss.

Here are some facts:

Fact #1.  Reid is complaining about getting tested more than he thinks is fair.

Fact #2.  There is no publicly confirmed evidence that Reid has ever failed a drug test (PED's or otherwise).

Fact #3.  The NFLPA & NFL have a "Reasonable Cause" section to the drug testing protocol that allows them to place players into the "program" even in the absence of a confirmed failed test.

Fact #4.  "... a Player who tested positive or for whom there is sufficient credible evidence of steroid involvement up to two football seasons prior to his applicable college draft or at a scouting combine, will be subject to evaluation by the Independent Administrator, after which the Independent Administrator may in his or her discretion place the Player into the reasonable cause testing program."  (copied directly from the NFLPA/NFL doc)

Fact #5.  "Reasonable cause testing may also be required when, in the opinion of the Independent Administrator, he receives credible, verifiable documented information providing a reasonable basis to conclude that a Player may have violated the Policy or may have a medical condition that warrants further monitoring."  (again, directly from the NFLPA/NFL doc)

Fact #6.  There are multiple avenues into the testing program even in the absence of a confirmed failed drug test. 

CONCLUSION #1.  It is both logical and plausible to believe the Independent Administrator has info on Reid that has prompted him to place Reid into the program and test him much more frequently than the general NFL player population.

CONCLUSION #2.  Given the oversight by the NFLPA & the fact the Independent Administrator is an arms-length 3rd party it is illogical and implausible to think Commissioner Goodell has simply rang up the I.A. and told him to start testing Reid a lot because he's mad at him.

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. 

That would be the end of the discussion if facts were relevant, but today facts are subjective.

I’m sure that @bobcat91wouldn’t have a problem at all with a cop posting up outside of his apartment complex every other week, and pull him over to search his car every afternoon when he heads to work - just to search his vehicle to make sure he doesn’t have any drugs or is driving drunk. If he is clean he has nothing to worry about! 

 If he is clean? That's not right and it's not random. Your targeting the person. There is no way this is random. Has he ever failed a drug screening?  What is not right is to call it random bc it's not. Just bc he has a brain to stay clean does not make what they do right and try to say it's random. My 4yr old can tell when he is being picked on. Its principalities in this, Smokie! Was he getting random drug tested before the protest or did it just start afterwards?
