I'll say this: Testing is expensive and a pain in the ass to make sure the chain of possession is preserved etc. They're not testing across the board, they're targeting certain individuals. I know 55 has proven himself to be a bit of a knucklehead, but anyone who thinks he wasn't targeted is living on another planet. Guys I race against get busted all the time and they're amateurs. There's no reason to think an NFL athlete who has one shot to make it isn't doing what they can to improve their chances. The reality is, they're targeting the few. Out of comp. testing is pretty rare unless you're being targeted.
And, I find it interesting that national pundits like Florio have no less than 3 full page essays ready to roll as soon as something like this hits.
Florio is a huge steeler fan (side note, I was there this weekend for a soccer tournament. What a shit hole. A lot of road kill...maybe they were just depressed with their surroundings and committed suicide). The comments about Burfict on his article from that town were all saying things like how he should be in prison for life, insinuating he has had some kind of off the field trouble. Yet, their QB rapes women with his oline blocking the door. Douchebags.
I will say this, if Burfict did in fact test positive because he took a prescription from the team doctor, he will sue the Bengals and he will win.
