See! You agree that there are presumptions but no one knows.

Does anyone have news about Michael Thomas' physical? It was supposed to be on or about yesterday 4/21.

Re: Michael Thomas agrees to restructured contract
 

With the reports that Michael Thomas was randomly drug tested for PEDs, if we performed a physical on 4/21 but haven't officially passed or failed him, we should PED drug test any specimens we have from that physical and fail him if he tests positive. If would be a disaster if we pass his physical and a day later the league fails his PED test and we pay him $10-15 million for being suspended.

I don't think he is on PEDs but it would not be that surprising. If he could not get fully healed and was worried about failing the physical, being cut, and ending up out of the league, it would be tempting to use PEDs, pass the physical, have a better chance at a monster season, get another long term deal, quit the PEDs, and coast off into the sunset with a lot more money.

They are pushing the envelope with the sciences used for "undetectable" performance enhancement techniques. Who's to say one way or another?


The Oak has a point.

I’m sorry, did I miss something? Thomas failed a PED test?

Re: Michael Thomas agrees to restructured contract
 

Nawhhh... it's just been insinuated in light of no reporting on his scheduled recent physical. :popcorn:

Haters gonna hate, y'all. It's as sure as death and taxes.

Re: Michael Thomas agrees to restructured contract
 

I did not mean to insinuate he was on PEDs. He has been injured for a long time. He posted a video lifting an incredible amount of weight. The NFL called him in for a PED test. I don't know the results of that test so I think its most fair and neutral and unbiased to consider that it could be either negative or positive, and ideally we would protect ourselves in both scenarios. I think the best way to do that would be for the team to test any blood samples they have from his physical so they can know for sure and get ahead of it. If he tested positive, the team could fail his physical and save $10 million. If he passed, great. I do not want a repeat of the Nick Fairly issue where the team gives a bunch of money to a risky player and weeks later they have a medical issue that could have been uncovered at their physical but wasnt and the team spends a bunch of money on an empty locker.
