CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- The NFL and NFL Players Association have asked the administrator of their independent drug-testing program to look into allegations by Carolina Panthers safety Eric Reid concerning the number of times he has been tested this season, sources from both sides confirmed.
Reid said following last Monday night's loss to New Orleans he was tested for the seventh time since signing with Carolina in late September. He implied it was because of his collusion grievance against the league
The grievance was filed in May by the NFLPA on Reid's behalf, alleging team owners and the league, influenced by President Donald Trump, colluded to prevent Reid's employment because of his protests against social injustice during the pregame national anthem.
