Philadelphia Eagles running back Miles Sanders expresses frustration over the frequency of drug tests he's received this season, suggesting they are not random and disrupt his post-game recovery.
Philadelphia Eagles star running back Miles Sanders has expressed frustration over the frequency of drug tests he has undergone during the 2023 season. While acknowledging the importance of drug testing in professional sports, Sanders believes he has been subjected to an excessive number of tests, particularly after games. According to Sanders, he has received multiple drug tests this season, often coinciding with standout performances.
He shared his experience with teammate Darius Slay, stating, 'I’ve had too many drug tests, to be honest. For me, personally, I don’t subscribe to that, but I have been drug-tested way too many times, and I don’t think it’s random.' Sanders finds the timing of post-game tests inconvenient and disruptive, considering the physical exertion and dehydration he experiences after matches. He also mentioned a particularly awkward experience during his time with the New York Giants when he had to provide a sample under uncomfortable circumstances.Despite his frustration, Sanders understands the necessity of drug testing and doesn't oppose it entirely. He expressed his willingness to undergo tests during training camp or practice but questioned the need for post-game tests, particularly when he doesn't even play. He stated, 'The only thing that made me reconsider was getting tested in the last week against the Giants when I didn’t play.' Sanders's comments highlight the potential for inconsistencies and perceptions of unfairness within the drug testing process in professional sports.
