Joe Thomas Rips NFL For Penalizing Players For Diluted Test Samples

Joe Thomas never has been hesitant to voice his opinion on NFL issues.

The Cleveland Browns Pro Bowl left tackle has touched on a number of league topics, including Colin Kaepernick’s free-agent status and NFL commissioner Roger Goodell’s handling of Deflategate.

Now, Thomas has something to say about the league’s drug testing protocol. After Jabril Peppers reportedly tested positive for a diluted sample at this year’s NFL Scouting Combine, Thomas vocalized his frustration with the league’s stance on the matter.

No player should ever have a "failed test" for a dilute sample. Especially at the combine where players frequently chug water to gain weight

Or you're chugging water to hydrate for a day of grueling physical testing. Lack of hydration leads to a significant decrease in performance https://t.co/FpuUZ3Fpe7

He even took a shot at the commish.

Here's to people who love water ?. Just don't let @nflcommish know, I hear the NFL is anti water. https://t.co/mRsWE7zZWZ

We’ll have to report back to Thomas’ Twitter feed the next time a hot-button NFL issue arises.
