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

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?

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

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

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.

Ready to rock and roll with Thomas, Olave, and Shaheed!

Quote from article above.

"Right now he’s still going through some of the rehab process. He had some hardware removed out of that foot that he had surgery on this past season. He’s doing really well. He’s working extremely hard. Our anticipation is that... he’ll be limited throughout this offseason. But our anticipation is that when we get to training camp that he’ll be good to go."
