Panthers safety Eric Reid believes he’s being unfairly targeted

The league and the player’s union both say that’s not the case.In a joint statement from the NFL and the NFL Players Association Elgton Jenkins Jersey , both said that they have investigated Reid’s claims and found no reason to believe the PED tests he has taken have been anything other than random selections that all players are subjected to.“We take any claim questioning the integrity of our collectively bargained performance enhancing drug policy seriously,” the statement said. “We asked the independent administrator of the policy to review and produce a report on the claims of targeting. A copy of this report, which contains personal and confidential testing information, has been provided to Eric Reid. We will not breach any player’s confidentiality, but can confirm that the report documents the dates he was randomly selected for testing and the actual dates of the drug tests. The report also demonstrates that Mr. Reid’s tests were randomly generated via computer algorithm and that his selection for testing was normal when compared with the number of tests players were randomly selected for throughout the league during the time that he was on an active roster. There is no evidence of targeting or any other impropriety with respect to his selection for testing.”If this statement were coming only from the NFL, it would be easy to dismiss. But when it comes jointly from the league and the union http://www.packerscheapshoponline.com/cheap-authentic-jace-sternberger-jersey , it’s much harder to make the case that this is some kind of conspiracy against Reid. It’s in the union’s interests to ensure that its members are treated fairly, and the union accepts that Reid has not been targeted.If Reid is not satisfied, one step he could take is something that the confidentiality policy does not permit the league and union to do: Release the full report, and let fans and the media see and judge for themselves whether it is persuasive. The annual National Football League Draft is the most important team-building process in the league. While contenders often find team-changing players in free agency and via trades, the NFL Draft is where clubs locate cornerstones for rosters capable of winning a Super Bowl. Tom Brady, Peyton Manning Dexter Williams Jersey , Eli Manning, Russell Wilson, Ben Roethlisberger and so many others who were drafted by their first clubs guided those franchise to titles.

The old football adage teaches that one cannot honestly evaluate a draft class until three or even four years after the fact because it often takes players multiple seasons before they find their feet in the NFL. That’s a nice thought, but the reality of the situation is that observers and also customers who spend thousands upon thousands of dollars on tickets, merchandise and other items want to see instant results on the field. They Nick Bosa Jersey , thus, are surprised when some players once referred to as NFL Draft busts revive their careers and enjoy success in the league. Unfortunately, there is also a long history of these busts flaming-out and floundering on football Sundays. Those individuals are either quickly forgotten, or remembered for being failures who probably shouldn’t have been drafted in the first place.
