He was probably already in the programStill that much testing is not done unless there are infractions or suspicions! Something is not clear.

Here's what's annoying about how news is reported.
The NFL suspended a player.
The talking heads report it to the fans.
Nobody knows the details.
Info leaks out bit by bit.
Everyone rushes to conclusions.
WHY does the NFL withhold the details!?!
They have an entire network specifically for their league.
There’s no language? I thought the language said a missed test is treated like a failed test. If so, pretty sure 7 failed tests is suspension worthy.
Collins is a bum. The fact that this organization puts up with this behavior behind the scenes tells you why they cant get over the hump.
This guy is always hurt and missing entire seasons and now that he is semi healthy he gets suspended for 5 games.
Can you be a worse teammate than to just blow off your responsibilities like this?
Knowing that he was in this position they should have moved him in the offseason. I would move him for picks the minute he is eligible to play again.
Quincy Carter went into the program and was tested all the time, he was told by Parcells if you fail a test and get suspended it means we cant rely on you and you will be cut....he did and he was cut. I have no idea why they let collins pull this stuff when he has not been a reliable player because of injury already.
And he didn't fail a single test. The suspension sounds punitive to the team not the individual

I don't usually push conspiracy theories, but tell me this doesn't sound suspect (especially following the unfounded basis for Zeke's suspension)... I did find it interesting that the suspension includes the NY giants game:
There is simply no language in the new substance-abuse policy that says seven failures to appear or seven failures to cooperate equate to suspension.
There are some blurred lines in the new CBA rules related to the NFL's substance-abuse policy, and La'el Collins clearly believes he's been victimized by the blur.
The substance abuse policies are just dumb. It was supposed to protect the image of the league. It often just makes them appear corrupt.
The game and the season should be decided on the field. That's what sports is about. Competition we can all see on the field.
Instead, the NFL is ruled by bureaucrats and refs making bad calls in secret proceedings we're not allowed to know anything about. The No Fun League in action. Makes it the No Fan Interest League too. I'm not that interested in following a league of lawyers fighting for their players to make it to the field. They'd be better off just rolling the dice to suspend people. Instead, it's totally opaque to the fans. At best, it looks arbitrary and capricious, at worst it looks corrupt.
Between Cowboy management showing that The Stupid didn't follow Garrett out the door, or the NFL taking the deciding calls off the field, this fan finds it hard to care about the games.
Collins doesn't deserve the benefit of the doubt. The dude is a screw up and I wouldn't believe a thing that came from him.
Ya gotta see past the star on the helmet, bud.It’s good to know that you walk on water
What I see is someone that decided LONG AGO about Collins and facts and anything like it means nothing.Ya gotta see past the star on the helmet, bud.
Im gucci. I was takin edibles last night. Jus boo mers are hilariousYou still have your problems I see.
Lol how is he a screw up??Collins doesn't deserve the benefit of the doubt. The dude is a screw up and I wouldn't believe a thing that came from him.
