Andrew Son Posted August 19, 2016 Posted August 19, 2016 This could be a one time thing based on the specific circumstances of this situation. A friend from Pittsburgh told me that Bell changed his cell phone number and never received the call for the random drug test (and apparently there was evidence to support this). That's my concern. More of a procedural issue
What a Tuel Posted August 19, 2016 Posted August 19, 2016 This could be a one time thing based on the specific circumstances of this situation. A friend from Pittsburgh told me that Bell changed his cell phone number and never received the call for the random drug test (and apparently there was evidence to support this). I don't believe for a second that it is the real reason Bell missed his test, but yeah this could be the reason Dareus won't appeal. He doesn't have a BS excuse other than he was going to fail anyway.
C.Biscuit97 Posted August 19, 2016 Posted August 19, 2016 For such an amazing league, the suspension policy is mindblowingly dumb.
aristocrat Posted August 19, 2016 Posted August 19, 2016 so bell gets a dui and a possession charge last year and gets the suspension reduced from 4 games to 2. dareus should get this reduced to 2
What a Tuel Posted August 19, 2016 Posted August 19, 2016 (edited) so bell gets a dui and a possession charge last year and gets the suspension reduced from 4 games to 2. dareus should get this reduced to 2 Oh yeah. So last year was originally 4 games for DUI and possession. Bell gets it reduced to 2. This year he is suspended again 4 games for missing a test. Bell gets it reduced to 3. So what did Dareus do? Synthetic and 1 game last year? And then missed a test for 4 this year? Anything in between? Edited August 19, 2016 by What a Tuel
Saxum Posted August 19, 2016 Posted August 19, 2016 We do not even know he received phone call yet; cell phone coverage can be spotty and I know I have missed many calls which went to bit bucket of a phone system. For much as he makes he could pay an answering service to ensure he got all calls and take care of scheduling. etc including reminders.
