Miami Dolphins' Dion Jordan To Apply For Reinstatement

Rhonda Young wrote:Jordan told the newspaper that he had stopped using drugs long before his flagged diluted sample, which he attributed to trying to mask alcohol in his system. But the Dolphins staff that drafted him out of OR is long gone, and should he be reinstated, the new regime has a decision to make - he is due a $1.7 million roster bonus on the fifth day of training camp. "And I (expletive) love doing it", Jordan told Pelissero.

I am not surprised that he wants to be reinstated. If he can earn his way back on the rosters and make an impact in games than I guess I am all for it

Jordan says he “never, ever” had a drug problem. But he was suspended six games in 2014 after testing positive once for ecstasy and one for marijuana.

Jordan says he stopped using drugs months before he gave the diluted sample near the end of the 2014 season.

So how did that happen? Pelissero said "according to Hendrickson, Jordan had been drinking alcohol and didn’t know he wasn’t being tested for that, so he tried to flush it out of his system."
