Von Miller was accused of violating the NFL drug policy and was suspended for four games. He vehemently denied the allegations and pressed forward with an appeal. During that time his suspension was mysteriously increased from four games to six and it was unclear why. Well now we know. Read more after the jump.
Suspended Denver Broncos Pro Bowl linebacker Von Miller unsuccessfully attempted to corrupt the NFL’s drug-testing program with the help of a urine collector before each was caught in a matter that will affect how the NFL’s collection testing procedures are done moving forward, league sources said.
ources said the collector worked in Miami, where Miller spends offseason time, and the collector reveled in knowing the Broncos linebacker while being, according to a source, “star struck.” It led, sources said, to the collector’s willingness to substitute another person’s urine specimen for Miller. It might have worked, sources said, had a second collector not discovered that Miller was not in the city where his collection was supposed to have taken place.
“He’s fast,” one source said of Miller, “but he’s not that fast.”
One source was “reasonably certain” no money changed hands between Miller and the collector, but that there was concern the NFL may have a problem beyond Miller and the collector involved. The NFL and the NFLPA declined comment.
