    Apparently he’s already been blood tested a billion times and is tired of it, the NFL is calling his bluff so could have a suspension incoming, weeee

    After 5 tests in 10 weeks? Why don't they just test his DNA at this point?

    This is getting absurd. Why keep testing him so much. He hasn't failed any this year. This isn't Josh Gordon.

    Test the whole OL. They’ve obviously been getting an unfair competitive advantage somehow.

    The league is trying to prove a point that no one player can defy them on this issue. If Bell doesn't comply, he will get suspended probably taking effect next season. Might want to make it harder to trade him if that was the plan. Not sure what Bell's options are except perhaps file a grievance thru the NFLPA.

    The problem is that he already has a failed drug test on his resume. Even though it's for a substance that is nowhere near what HGH can do for a professional athlete, he has less ground to stand on because he's already a violator

    Hopefully he just does it or he does file a grievance and win. Annoying baggage regardless of who is right here and I have a feeling the NFL is wrong and waving their stick around because he opened his mouth and said he's not doing it a anymore.

    What does he do anyway? Would it even be worth the time and expense?

    the problem with that point is the test are supposed to be random. they are clearly targeting him which makes no sense. he already passed 5 this year and has had a bad season all things considered.

    If Bell is taking anything to "enhance" his performance, it sure as hell ain't working. The guy looks slow as molasses entering a hole. He obviously pissed off some people last season when he sat out, so they're making an example out of him to try and keep the rest of his colleagues in line when it comes to contract disputes and other ideological differences between players and management. The league did the same thing to that Colin KantPlayALick guy. I guess ending up with the lowly Jets wasn't punishment enough for Bell this season.

    I doubt the league is going to be transparent or forthcoming about how they decide who to "randomly" test, so nothing to see here. Looking more and more like a 15 yard targeting penalty by the NFL. Smart money says this may not be the first time they are guilty of said alleged targeting infraction.

    Bell has said earlier he hates needles (who doesn't?) If he can get his Dr to back up his claim of having a legit needle phobia, the NFL could not force him to comply due to ADA (Americans with disabilities act).

    Too much drama for a back averaging 3.3 ypc and who's looked SLOW asf this season.

    The media is to blame for this nonsense.
