When the Carolina Panthers picked up safety Eric Reid, it created shockwaves throughout the league. Many celebrated and some were disgusted. Reid is currently apart of a collusion grievance against the NFL, which was filed back in May.
For his efforts, it appears the league has been unfairly targeting him with several drug tests. The tests are supposed to be random, but it’s pretty odd that Reid has been tested seven times.
It’s getting so ridiculous that Reid couldn’t help but post on his Twitter page.

Panthers head coach Ron Rivera found some humor in it.
“I guess there was something about some mathematician saying it’s highly improbable, but definitely possible,” Rivera said Thursday. “But I’ll say this: If my name came up that many times, I’d buy a lottery ticket.”
With only a couple weeks left in the season, we can only wonder if Reid will be tested for the eighth time. Only time will tell.
