D. J. Williams and Ryan McBean were suspended because they provided “non-human” urine samples for drug testing

The National Football League suspended the linebacker D. J. Williams and defensive lineman Ryan McBean of the team Denver Broncos for violation of steroid policy. These players were suspended 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 drug testing officer.
D. J. William claimed that he had never tested for any banned drug during 8 years of his career. He added 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 a sportsperson.
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 substance, the NFL didn’t have any right to ban him.
Peter Schaffer claimed that he intended to make it clear that neither D. J. Williams, nor Ryan McBean tested positive for banned medications.
A lawsuit was filed in Denver County Court against suspensions of these football players.
The players affirmed that the drug testing officer had violated certain rules connected with the procedure of collecting urine samples.
Peter Schaffer noted that several similarities had been between his client and Ryan Braun. Braun won his appeal related to his suspension from 50 games for usage of testosterone. Ryan Braun could prove that the drug testing officer Dino Laurenzi violated steroid policy.
As for Laurenzi, different anti-doping agencies defended and supported him. The WADA also supported him. 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 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 football players was rejected.
