To get in the NFL's substance abuse program you can either fail a test (which is both a steroids/performance enhancing and narcotic test) or just not take the test when told to. Odell missed his first test. Then, he failed a test in the pre-season of 2006 because of marijuana (some have said it might have been something harder). So, a second failed test leads to a 4 game suspension which he was slapped with for 2006. Then in September of 2006 he had a DUI. For the substance abuse program that is strike 3 and instead of 4 games in turns into a year. Now, since that DUI he has not had any problems and followed the guidlines in the program. Served all of 2006 and everyone thought that he was going to be good for 2007 but then he was suspended again...even though he hadn't failed a test or had any problems since that DUI. I think 2 years is "cruel and unusual"...and I hope he wins that appeal. He first skipped a random drug test.

Maybe I need to look at the history of this situation cause I'm lost. Aint that some S’ugar H’oney I’ced T’ee…if Odell hasnt failed a substance abuse test in over a year then what is the problem?
