Giants' Beckham Annoyed With NFL's 'Random' Drug Testing
By WFAN.com
Odell Beckham Jr. let the NFL know he's not happy about all the drug tests he's been taking lately.
The Giants star took to Twitter on Thursday to complain, writing: "Walkin in today to my 997,546 “””RANDOM””” PED drug test today. It’s actually funny how I “randomly” get tested every other week. Dear @NFL please stop sending these people, ur takin away from meeting times and film."

— Odell Beckham Jr (@obj) September 20, 2018In March, a viral video showed the Pro Bowl wide receiver in bed with a French model who was holding a credit card near a plate with lines of a white substance on it.
Giants brass initially seemed bothered by the video, even entertaining trade offers for the electric wideout, but they ended up signing Beckham to a five-year, $90 million contract last month.
Beckham's gripes about the NFL's drug testing is reminiscent of what happened to his former teammate, Jonathan Casillas, in April 2017. A day after the linebacker posted a photo of himself on Instagram smoking what he claimed was a hand-rolled cigar in the Dominican Republic, the Giants linebacker said the NFL contacted him about scheduling a randomly selected drug test.
