YoloinOhio Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 Hmmm...precedent for Dareus should he choose to appeal? can he still appeal? Seems like they took the punishment and moved on. Bell said he got a new phone number and fought it from the get go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 Sounds like it to me. Would be back for the Cheaters game. Get 'er done! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
26CornerBlitz Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 @SalSports Haven't heard anything about a Dareus appeal but if he truly just missed a test, he should, especially given Bell news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timing is everything with the NFL--does this make anyone wonder if perhaps Marcell didn't miss a test, but rather tested positive, and they're reducing Bell's suspension to send a message to Dareus? Probably not the case, but you never know... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 He's got 500,000 reasons to appeal the suspension. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably not the case, but you never know... i don't know but Bell is a repeat offender after having been suspended for first 4 games last year and getting that one reduced to 3. Dareus missed only one last year and that was for the spice possession (I thought) not failed/missed test. Wow @mikegarafolo Staying in the same stage of the program means Le'Veon Bell's next suspension would also be four games, not 10. Decent deal for him.

Gets his suspension reduced by a game and he stays at the same stage of the program. What did he have to give in return? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RyanC883 Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 Dareus has to appeal his suspension. If Bell only gets 3 games, Dareus should be at 3 games. Bell already got busted for driving while high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaaadThingsMan Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 can he still appeal? Seems like they took the punishment and moved on. Bell said he got a new phone number and fought it from the get go.Its the players responsibility to report his new number to the testing dept. He knew what he was doing, bought himself a month or two of smokin i bet.One time reprieve, someone probably tipped him off on the loophole. Kids a stoner.

jahnyc Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 This could be a one time thing based on the specific circumstances of this situation. A friend from Pittsburgh told me that Bell changed his cell phone number and never received the call for the random drug test (and apparently there was evidence to support this).
