DeAndre Hopkins’ Old Suspension Takes New Turn as Steve Keim Responds to “Set up” Claim
Hopkins says he was set up on a drug test and lost $13 million after a six-game suspension under the NFL's PED policy.
- Former Arizona Cardinals wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins recently alleged on social media that former general manager Steve Keim manipulated a drug test leading to his 2022 suspension, claiming he was 'set up' during his tenure in Arizona.
- In May 2022, the NFL suspended Hopkins for six games for violating its performance-enhancing substances policy; Hopkins claimed the suspension cost him $13 million, though reports indicate the actual financial impact was approximately $5.2 million.
- Hopkins referred to Keim as 'Skeme Slime,' alleging a 'contaminated drug test' during his time with the Cardinals, but provided no public evidence and subsequently deleted the social media post.
- Steve Keim responded Tuesday, calling the accusation 'completely false' and retaining attorney Raees Mohamed to preserve relevant evidence, signaling the dispute could transition from social media into a legal setting.
- Whether the dispute leads to a lawsuit remains unclear, as Keim stated he will not engage in extended public argument; the central question regarding the 2022 test results remains unanswered by any public findings.
