James Harrison: NFL Tried to Blackmail Me for Recording Drug Test

James Harrison documented the affair on Instagram, as league testers abruptly showed up and notified him of the test. In the first clip, Harrison claims “Ryan Willis (one of the testers) says I can’t record this piss test because if I do it will be [counted as] positive.”

Willis would not acknowledge Harrison with the camera rolling, and his partner told James that the test could not take place on video.

In a later video, Harrison says that he contacted DeMaurice Smith, the executive director of the NFL Player’s Association (NFLPA) about the matter.
