DeAndre Hopkins and Steve Keim drug test dispute

Overview

NFL wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins has accused former Arizona Cardinals general manager Steve Keim of orchestrating a setup that led to a failed drug test during Hopkins’ tenure with the team. In a social media post, Hopkins claimed he was “set up” and suffered a loss of approximately $13 million due to a “contaminated drug test.” This refers to a six-game suspension Hopkins served in 2022 for violating the league’s performance-enhancing substance policy.

Steve Keim has denied the allegations, stating they are “completely false” and that it “would make no sense to do that to my player.” Following the accusations, Keim retained legal counsel to address the claims and protect his professional reputation.
