Beckham: There Doesn’t Appear To Be Anything Random About NFL’s Random Drug Testing Policy

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — Leave me alone.

That was the message from Odell Beckham Jr. after the Giants’ all-everything wide receiver took to Twitter on Thursday morning to call out the NFL’s supposedly random drug testing policy.

Does Beckham have a point? It depends on your perspective. According to the NFL policy and program on substances of abuse that was created back in 2016, players under contract are subject to testing throughout the year. Once a player has been notified that he has been selected, he has no more than three hours to submit a specimen.
