Earlier this week it was reported that star Broncos Linebacker Von Miller would be suspended for 4 games for violating the leagues drug policy. There were many conflicting reports at first. Some had Miller failing a test for PED’s, while others were suggesting the failed test was for marijuana and other recreational drugs. Either way that would lead to a suspension, but fans and players might not necessarily look at Miller as bad if the failed test was for recreational drugs rather than PED’s because at least then you couldn’t say he was cheating on the filed. But now new rumors are coming to light that Miller in fact, never failed any test at all. Hit the jump for more.

According to USA Today
Miller has filed an appeal with the NFL to get the suspension lifted, and though such wins are rare, those close to Miller believe he will eventually be cleared. A person with knowledge of Miller’s situation told USA TODAY Sports that the suspension was not the result of a failed drug test. “He didn’t test positive for anything,” the person said.
I really hope it is true that he never failed a test to begin with. Miller is one of the best young players in the league, and it would be ashame if he was getting to stardom by using PED’s. Earlier this week he said “absolutely not”, when asked if marijuana was a part of his life. So Miller just might be one of the rare few athletes who are able to win his appeal, but like with baseball player Ryan Braun earlier this week, sometimes you just have to wait and see.
