Denver Broncos’ players provided non-human urine samples for drug testing

The National Football League suspended the linebacker D. J. Williams and Ryan McBean, a defensive lineman, of the team Denver Broncos for violation of steroid policy. These players were banned from 6 games. But they were not suspended for application of steroids. They didn’t test positive for steroids or other controlled substances. They were accused in providing “non-human” urine samples to the officer of drug testing.
D. J. William claimed that he had never tested for any forbidden preparation during eight years of his career. He noticed that he was proud of his records. The football player noticed that he was also proud of his manner in that he conducted himself, being an athlete.
Peter Schaffer, the defensive attorney for McBean, claimed that the NFL had violated rights of the defensive lineman. He mentioned that since McBean had never tested positive for any prohibited drug, the NFL didn’t have any right to suspend him.
Peter Schaffer noted that he intended to make it clear that neither D. J. Williams, nor Ryan McBean tested positive for forbidden medicines.
A lawsuit was filed in Denver County Court against bans of these football players.
D. J. Williams and Ryan McBean affirmed that the drug testing officer had violated some rules connected with the procedure of collecting urine samples.
Schaffer noticed that certain similarities had been between his client and Ryan Braun. Braun won his appeal linked with his suspension from 50 games for application of testosterone. Ryan Braun could prove that Dino Laurenzi, the drug testing officer, violated steroid policy.
As for Laurenzi, he was defended and supported by different anti-doping agencies. The WADA also supported this drug testing officer. It was confirmed 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, another attitude was displayed to him. He was fired by the NFL for inappropriate doing his duty.
At the hearing the NFL administrators acknowledged that the drug testing officer violated the rules linked with collection of urine samples.
Nevertheless, the appeal on behalf of the football players was rejected.
