Dallas Cowboys WR Terrell Owens was placed in the league’s..... “reasonable cause” testing program for performance-enhancing drugs.
Owens was placed in the program because he missed day-of telephone calls to set up random tests.

A player that misses a test can be subject to disciplinary action, but because Owens had a "plausible" explanation, league administrators decided he would not be suspended or fined.
Instead, Owens can now be randomly tested for performance enhancers up to a maximum of 24 annual screenings, and these additional screenings can be required, if the NFL chooses to do so, for the remainder of his NFL career.
Owens was warned that he risks a suspension if administrators experience a similar roadblock as they did when they attempted to reach him two weeks ago.

The testing program requires players to make themselves accessible and communicate their specific location when they are contacted for a test.
