Pittsburgh Steelers running back Le'Veon Bell is denying a rumor that he missed or failed a drug test and would face NFL discipline.
"I haven't missed any drug tests," Bell said on Tuesday, according to Jason Mackey of DKPittsburghSports.com. "I haven't failed any drug tests. I'm completely fine."
The rumor appears to have come from Pittsburgh radio personality Mark Madden, who teased the news on Twitter before discussing it openly.
I'm told Lev Bell skipped a drug test& is facing susp. Right now, it's a rumor. But it's a pretty strong rumor.

Bell missed the first two games of 2015 after being suspended for an August 2014 arrest for DUI and marijuana possession.
