Le'Veon Bell Blasts NFL on Twitter After 5th 'Random' PED Test in 10 Weeks
There has been outcry from players in recent history in all leagues about seemingly intentional drug tests. Le'Veon Bell is finally putting his foot down after one more test was sent his way.
The New York Jets star running back expressed clear displeasure and distaste at the frequency of the tests on Twitter, calling out the NFL in the process.
I done had 5 “random” HGH blood test in 10 weeks...@NFL I’m not doing another after today, whatever y’all lookin for it obviously ain’t there & I’m not about to keep allowing y’all to stick me with those dirty ass needles..find the players who really do that HGH BS & get off me..

Bell also objected to the use of "dirty (expletive) needles" and made it seem like he will no longer agree to tests after stating he had to deal with five in 10 weeks of play.
This outburst from Bell is well-timed with complaints from the NBA, as Los Angeles Lakers specialist Danny Green made a tongue-in-cheek complaint about a drug test after a "random drug test." The drug test was days after a rare put-back dunk from Green that sent Staples Center into an uproar.

Both Green and Bell are making their voices heard. Now, we'll see if the NBA and NFL, respectively, will listen to them.
