Von Miller, Urine Collector Tried To Cheat Test

Nov 3, 2014 5:58 PM

Vpn Miller unsuccessfully attempted to cheat an NFL drug test by asking for the help of the urine collector.

The transgression will affect how the NFL collects tests moving forward.

Miller was initially suspended for four games, but his suspension was increased to six games and easily could have been up to a year due to the issue.

Miller's initial diluted sample counted as a positive test and led to notification of his four-week suspension under the NFL's substance-abuse policy.

The collector worked in Miami where Miller spends offseason time and was reportedly "star struck."

One source was "reasonably certain" no money changed hands between Miller and the collector, but that there was concern the NFL may have a problem beyond Miller and the collector involved. The NFL and the NFLPA declined comment.
