Rich, Thanks for the Article! Very informative.
The January testing at his home in the offseason is different that another article I pulled up about the NFL's drug testing policy. I wonder if it's a very rare situation to go to people's home to randomly test, because cost was cited in the other article.
Has Square had a violation before (ie NFL or civilian misdemeanor, etc), because I thought only guys who were in the drug program had to tell the NFL where they were at all times.
From a PR standpoint, back in january when he missed his testing, he should have ran out immediately and got himself tested and show everyone he was clean (if it was just an accidental miscommunication).

The players know they have to be available for testing. They are supposed to give out contact numbers to the testing coordinators. I doubt it was as straight forward as they showed up and he wasn't there. They obviously tried to contact him and his info wasn't up to date. A missed test is the same as a fail. He could have pee'd in Alabama and been good to go. He's missing 4 games for being irresponsible, assuming he was clean that is.

Now, if he took a blood test, that might have helped his case. Emphasis on might.sigpic
