Broncos Von Miller had drug test collector switch sample

Broncos Von Miller had inside help in trying to make sure that he tested clean with the NFL. A “star-struck” test collector reportedly switched Von’s urine sample with a clean one after striking up some sort of “friendship” with Miller.

This helps explain why Miller’s four-game suspension for violating the NFL’s substance abuse policy suddenly and mysteriously was increased to six games and easily could have been up to a year, the sources said. Sources 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 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.” Another source said after the NFL learned details in the Miller case, it summoned representatives of the testing company, Drug Free Sport, to New York in late August to meet with league officials to review collection procedures that could enhance the process in the NFL/NFLPA joint testing program. Repeated calls to Drug Free Sports this weekend went unanswered. The collector involved has been dismissed, per a source.

Men are groupies too. How is the NFL attempting to make sure this never happens again? They’re implementing finger print technology, similar to the new iPhone 5s… new world order.
