Le'veon Bell's suspension - leonardfan40 - 08-19-2016
Reduced from 4 games to 3. Bengals play Pitt week 2 lmfao
Apparently skipping drug tests is no big deal even if you've already failed several. Good plan le'veon, bet Pitt fans wish he was suspended vs cincy too with his injury history

Actually it's 3, but still bull shit. Aggressive football play gets a longer suspension than skipping drug tests
RE: Le'veon Bell's suspension - GreenCornBengal - 08-19-2016
Are you kidding me?!
I LITERALLY thought the NFL would get it right and not reduce this chumps suspension. Just wow.
RE: Le'veon Bell's suspension - Atomic Orange - 08-19-2016
Of coarse it was reduced. They are the **** ING PITTSBURGH STEELERS MAN.
We will beat them anyway.

I would venture to guess, no not a coincidence at all.... this shit is getting out of control I'm surprised the haven't publicly apologized to Martavis Bryant and reinstated him while paying him punitive damages
RE: Le'veon Bell's suspension - Au165 - 08-19-2016
From what I read the NFLPA actually had an argument here. The Tester may have not made a good faith attempt to contact him because he was not given Bells new phone number.
RE: Le'veon Bell's suspension - McC - 08-19-2016
I look at it this way--as stupid as he is, he'll **** up again.

Doesn't matter. He was supposed to give them his new number right away. Plus it wasn't a random test. He knew he needed to take it.

Biggest part is, not only is it reduced to 3, but if he fails another drug test, he doesn't get 10 games like he should with an advancement in the program. Instead he stays at 4 games for his next failed test.
Skip test(s) because you know you're going to fail, and rather than 4 games and 10 the next time, he gets 3 games and 4 the next time.
Life as a Steeler in the Goodell NFL.

^^This is the expectation of the NFL's drug testing program. It is the PLAYER'S responsibility to give the league ANY updated contact info, including phone number. From the article I read on this a week or so ago, all players are aware of this expectation. The onus is on the PLAYER to ensure they can be contacted. And clearly with Bell's past involving drugs and the league protocol and expectations, there is no doubt he was FULLY aware of this expectation.
However, he was probably high at the time and forgot he was supposed to get the new number to them, which I would completely believe LOL Nonetheless, it's a bunch of BS that league expectations were not met and instead of facing consequences clearly outlined initially, he gest the good 'ol Steeler treatment and they can bend the rules for him. Just a bunch of BS !

What a joke.
Unreal. So this soft batch could have taken as much roids HGH as he wanted to help him recover from injury.
The whole staying in phase two is the worst part. I am pissed at the obvious double standard
RE: Le'veon Bell's suspension - GreenCornBengal - 08-19-2016
Didn't know about the "stays in phase 2" part of the deal... Wow...
Just another layer on the Goodell/Steeler Love Lasagna

Those symbols represent the lowest form of profanity possible. I can't actually type them on here, but they are the worst possible words to describe this complete lack of parity when it comes to the rules.
