Panthers' Eric Reid: NFL's drug testing 'obviously not' random

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- The NFL Players Association is looking into an allegation by Carolina Panthers safety Eric Reid that the NFL is targeting him with excessive drug testing, a league source told ESPN.com.

Reid said on Wednesday that he has been randomly drug tested five times in eight games since taking an initial drug test after he signed with the Panthers in late September.

Reid said he has never failed a drug test to warrant so many tests, all for performance-enhancing drugs, and suggested it was because of his collusion grievance against the NFL.
