“Non-human” urine samples were provided for drug testing in the NFL

The National Football League sentenced to suspensions the linebacker D. J. Williams and defensive lineman Ryan McBean of the team Denver Broncos for violation of steroid policy. They were suspended from 6 games. But they were not suspended for administration of steroids. They didn’t test positive for steroids or other prohibited medications. They were accused in providing “non-human” urine samples to the drug testing officer.
D. J. William said in an interview that he had never tested for any forbidden drug during 8 years of his career. The linebacker noted that he was proud of his records. The football player claimed that he was also proud of his manner in that he conducted himself, being a sportsperson.
Peter Schaffer, the defensive attorney for McBean, confirmed that the NFL had violated rights of this player. He noted that since McBean had never tested positive for any forbidden product, the NFL didn’t have any right to sentenced him to ban.
Peter Schaffer noticed that he desired to make it clear that neither D. J. Williams, nor Ryan McBean tested positive for forbidden substances.
A lawsuit was filed in Denver County Court against suspensions of these players of the NFL.
D. J. Williams and Ryan McBean affirmed that the drug testing officer had violated several rules linked with the procedure of collecting urine samples.
Schaffer noticed that some similarities had been between his client and Ryan Braun. Braun won his appeal linked with his suspension from 50 games for intake of testosterone. Ryan Braun could prove that Dino Laurenzi, the drug testing officer, violated steroid policy.
As for Laurenzi, different anti-doping agencies defended and supported him. The WADA also supported him. It was said that there was the same procedure of collecting and sending urine samples not only for the MLB but also for the WADA.
But as for the drug testing officer that collected samples of Williams and McBean, he was treated in another way. He was fired by the NFL for wrong doing his duty.
At the hearing the NFL administrators acknowledged that the drug testing officer violated the rules linked with collection of urine samples.
Nonetheless, the appeal on behalf of the players was rejected.
