Pittsburgh Steelers running back Le'Veon Bell boasted on Twitter about passing an NFL drug test this spring:

Friday, ESPN's Dan Graziano reported Bell is facing a four-game suspension for violating the NFL's drug policy. Specifically, Bell reportedly missed a drug test.

Perhaps as the result of a flurry of fans and media members calling him out on Twitter for his apparent hypocrisy, Bell made his Twitter account private Friday.

Bell has made headlines on other occasions this offseason, too. In a song he released, he rapped about wanting to be paid $15 million per season. With a second suspension hanging over his head, it's hard to imagine the Steelers wanting to pay their troubled tailback even half that amount.
