Two players of the NFL gave “non-human” urine samples to a collector of samples for drug testing

The National Football League banned D. J. Williams, a linebacker, and defensive lineman Ryan McBean of the team Denver Broncos for violation of steroid policy. These players were banned from six games. But they were not suspended for usage of steroids. They didn’t test positive for steroids or other performance-enhancing drugs. They were accused in providing “non-human” urine samples to the officer of drug testing.
D. J. William affirmed that he had never tested for any prohibited substance during eight years of his career. The football player mentioned that he was proud of his records. He noticed that he was also proud of his manner in that he conducted himself, being an athlete.
The attorney for McBean, Peter Shaffer, confirmed that the NFL had violated rights of this player. He noted that since McBean had never tested positive for any prohibited substance, the NFL didn’t have any right to sentence him to suspension.
Peter Schaffer confirmed 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 bans of these football players.
The players affirmed that the drug testing officer had violated some rules connected with the procedure of collecting urine samples.
Peter Schaffer noted that some similarities had been between his client and Ryan Braun. Braun won his appeal related to his suspension from 50 games for administration of testosterone. Ryan Braun could prove that the drug testing officer Dino Laurenzi violated steroid policy.
As for Laurenzi, he was defended and supported by various anti-doping agencies. The WADA also supported this drug testing officer. It was claimed 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 admitted that the drug testing officer violated the rules linked with collection of urine samples.
Nevertheless, the appeal on behalf of the players was rejected.
