The NFL Needs Ochocinco’s Sample

What would Ochocinco be doing if he failed his drug test?


Ah…the things that the world of Twitter will allow one to share…

…and Ochocinco has decided to give us a sneak peak at how “random” random drug testing really is.

What was his response to the memo placed on his locker?

“Ok , why does the NFL continue to test me, all I do is piss excellence for them each time, I love these random steroid -drug test”

Chad seems to beam with confidence that he’s not worried, and that’s certainly a good thing.  But note the contradicting nature of the letter:  Chad has supposedly been selected to complete a urine doping test today.  Then, at the end of the following paragraph comes this revealing tidbit – - “If you feel that you are not prepared to provide an adequate specimen you should still check in with the collector.”

OK, fellas…in what instances have any of us went 24 hours without being able to provide that type of “specimen?”  And without question there is always an “adequate” amount for testing…right?  If there have been times when players are unable to provide an adequate specimen, shouldn’t the NFL drug testing program’s Medical Advisor be concerned?

I’m kidding, but we all know what that sentence meant.  Perhaps it should have read this way:

“If you feel that you are not prepared to provide a clean specimen you should still check in with the collector.”

Now that Ochocinco has revealed the loophole to the NFL’s drug testing system, it’s clear that there’s still a long ways to go with cleaning up professional sports.  And it much, much longer than we may have even realized.
