February 2, 201511 yr Cleveland QB Johnny Manziel has reportedly entered a treatment program for off-the-field issues.
February 2, 201511 yr I wish Johnny the best and I am glad to see him man up and admit he needs help.
February 2, 201511 yr How does this affect the drug testing policy? I assume HIPPA would keep everything private and saying you have a problem isn't a crime, right?
February 2, 201511 yr I assume HIPPA would keep everything private and saying you have a problem isn't a crime, right? sadly...NOTHING is private when you're a pro athlete
February 2, 201511 yr Good for him. I hope he is able to get a grip on his life before it is too late.
February 2, 201511 yr Apparently a Vegas casino offered him six figures to host a Super Bowl party but he declined. That's a good first step.
February 2, 201511 yr There was lots of pressure from the Browns for him to go...No surprise. I hope he succeeds and has a successful career
February 2, 201511 yr I assume HIPPA would keep everything private and saying you have a problem isn't a crime, right?I don't think it's a HIPPA thing, but what if he was randomly chosen for a sample at the same time he enters? Perhaps it's his way of getting ahead of a suspendable offense.
February 2, 201511 yr Who would have ever thunk it. Anyone with a brain could see this train wreck, but hopefully he gets back on track. He is very talented and a shame to waste it.
February 2, 201511 yr I don't think it's a HIPPA thing, but what if he was randomly chosen for a sample at the same time he enters? Perhaps it's his way of getting ahead of a suspendable offense. If he entered before he takes a sample penalties are less if he were to fail. If he took a sample then entered, penalties remain the same.
February 2, 201511 yr If he was smart he would have cleaned up/out anything in his system before taking the plunge.
February 2, 201511 yr A lot of talking heads are talking about him being an alcoholic and needing help. While he may be an alcoholic, how sure are they that that's what his main problem is?
February 2, 201511 yr A lot of talking heads are talking about him being an alcoholic and needing help. While he may be an alcoholic, how sure are they that that's what his main problem is? A minefield for sure. The rolled up money should give us another clue. How long does coke stay in your system?
