I thought you posted that the other day????

I saw it too but it wasn't me.

Huh? For what?

I think it’s because he killed that girl prior to the draft. Not sure though

 

[Couchcoach]

Checked in to see what's up after gameday....
I really thought Collins had his head on straight by now. With a solid career ahead of him and an owner who's always bent over backwards to help players with issues, now this? I say lose this idiot after the season and draft his replacement.

Wut

Wut

just smile and nod.

If it is for street narcotics and not PEDs I'm going to be even more pissed. It's one thing to try to gain an advantage. It's completely different for recreational shit. That's way worse, IMO.

Opi's? Maybe between the accident and training he continued medicating w/o a script?

You're an idiot if you piss hot anyway. So many ways around it from what I've heard. Almost all these guys are on PEDs. The human body can't do what they do without them.

Not many anymore. They test for adulterants, masking agents, and also creatine levels to see if you've diluted. Opiates can be detected for a few days but Benzos can be detected in your system up to 2 or 3 weeks.

I would really like to know the facts of what happened before I trash the guy. The NFL is super shady about this stuff.

 

[Couchcoach]

If he can't stay clean and focused on his career it's his own fault. If it's an iffy steroid type drug, I can understand. If he's being a moron with feel good rec drugs I say "Stop being a dumbass, you got what you deserved"

And what if it's a missed test that he has a great explanation for? Just too much unknown at this point. They have pretty strict time limits with these tests so I'm curious to hear the explanation.

 

[Cotton]

That's a pretty damn strong statement.

If that's the case he needs to appeal it if he can. That scenario would be understandable IMO

Sounds like he is which is why they are pissed

They are acting pissed probably because it got out before everything was finalized.

Not too sure about the "intentionally misleading" part about the hearing.

 

[Genghis Khan]

Cowboys' La'el Collins hopeful suspension could be lifted, continues to fight for further appeal

Collins did not test positive for marijuana, but was cited for 'failure to appear' for testing seven times

www.cbssports.com

Apparently he's been tested 10 times a month for the past 18 months despite no positive test.

 

[bbgun]

doesn't he realize that a missed test is the same as testing positive?

Apparently at least some of the missed tests were due to being sent home under covid protocols.

Don't know how true it is but that's what the article says.
