Social media has been a fickle friend to Pittsburgh Steelers RB Le’Veon Bell in recent weeks, so much so he even locked his Twitter account when news of an impending suspension first broke. After a little too much sharing on Friday night, Bell might wish he had taken a bit more time off.

Bell took to Twitter after the news of his suspension was made official to speak to the fans, expressing his regret and to talk about his focus on the future.

The video has since been deleted, but the transcription of it, documented by CBS Pittsburgh, has Bell admitting to more than just the missed tests.

. . . “I’m not the perfect person, I’m not going to sit here and act like the perfect person. I’ve made mistakes, but I want you to understand I’ve never purposely missed any drug tests. I never failed any drug tests. I haven’t smoked since December 2014. I want you guys to understand that all the drug tests are random.”

Bell first fell foul of the NFL drug abuse policy when caught in possession of marijuana and driving under the influence on the way to catch a team plane in August of 2014, an incident that surely saw him entered into the increased testing program. There have not been reports of any failed tests since that time, despite his possible self-implication.

Around the same time as he admits to having his last joint, Bell was engaged in negotiations for a plea deal that would satisfy an Allegheny County judge as he sought inclusion into a first offender’s program for the charges he faced.

Bell’s defense attorney, Robert Del Greco Jr, explained why his client was willing to submit to such a deal according to a report from WPXI back in 2014:

“I think Le’Veon understands and he’s accepted that he made a mistake. This is the penalty that he will pay,”

The Steelers star runner recently completed this 15-month probation that began in February 2015 and there were no issues reported.

Perhaps he revealed too much. Maybe he just blurted it out. The fact the video was removed speaks to his possible awareness of that comment, but considering his history of suspensions — this is his second multi-game stint — it’s fair to question what he meant by the comment, and why he would admit to it now.
