Super Bowl Domination

Chapter 429 Uninvited Guest

Ding Dong!Ding Dong!
The doorbell rang one after another, until Levi opened the door.

Whoosh, a gust of cold wind blew towards me, bringing with it scattered snowflakes.

A man wrapped tightly in a black down jacket and invisible in the night appeared at the door. He stood at attention properly and seriously. Despite the biting cold wind, he did not bend his back. His upright posture was like the Grim Reaper holding a scythe.

However, what he held in his hand was not a sickle, but a toolbox. He raised his chin slightly and looked up at the tall Levi.

"You are shorter than I thought." Levi was still sleepy. He squinted his eyes slightly and made a joke with a strong nasal tone.

The black-faced Yama in front of him obviously didn't understand, "What?"

Levi chuckled and waved his hand, "No, is there anything I can help you with?"

The black-faced Yama held up the small transparent plastic tool box in his left hand and said, "You can pee in this plastic cup."

Li Wei raised his chin slightly, revealing an expression of sudden enlightenment, "Today's fans are really colorful. Do you want me to sign for you first?"

Black-faced Yama: ...

He took a deep breath, unzipped his down jacket, took off his gloves with his teeth, reached into his inner pocket and pulled out a neatly packed envelope, "Mr. Levi, I'm sent by the Alliance and need to do a routine surprise urine test."

Levi was not surprised at all. "Of course, at this point in time, only this answer can explain all the madness. The first thing after winning the American League Championship is a random urine test."

“Welcome to the NFL, right?”

The black-faced Yama remained unmoved, staring with dead fish eyes, looking very businesslike.

Levi's joke hit the wall again. He looked at the other person quietly, "One question, is it still possible to conduct surprise inspections the day after the Super Bowl?"

Obviously, this was not a serious question. Although the question was reasonable, Levi's eyes and tone were full of amusement.

Black-faced Yama didn't even raise his eyelids. "Please ask the alliance for the specific regulations. I am only responsible for collecting samples."

Levi spread his hands, "Relax, man. It's not just you who's working early in the morning, it's me too. There's no need for us to make things difficult for each other."

The black-faced Yama looked at Levi expressionlessly.

Levi shrugged lightly, made way for him and made an invitation, "The temperature in Kansas City has dropped. Come in first and talk."

Close the door and go inside.

Levi rubbed his cheeks hard and regained some clarity.

Although it was not surprising, Levi still opened the envelope and quickly scanned it——

Sure enough, this was the league’s notice of a surprise urine test.

In the NFL, inspections are rigorous and occur year-round.

According to regulations, during the season, the league has the right to conduct random urine or blood tests at any time, and the window is very small, often with only five minutes of advance notice, which basically means that a surprise inspection must be carried out as soon as it appears. Even if a urine test has been taken after the game last night, the surprise inspection early this morning cannot be avoided.

If a player refuses to cooperate or misses the inspection, he will face a suspension.

The league stipulates that in such a situation, the minimum suspension is six games, and it is an unpaid suspension; considering that the NFL regular season has only sixteen games a season, such a punishment is very severe.

Of course, players can appeal based on the circumstances, and the league will handle it at its discretion. Overall, the average number of suspensions in the league over the years is four games.

The so-called season starts from the preseason, and the traditional Hall of Fame event one week before the preseason is not counted; it lasts until the player's team is eliminated, and the rest of the time is counted as the offseason. During the offseason, players still need to cooperate with the league's surprise inspections, but the league needs to notify them in advance, and players do not need to be on call. Here, there are two situations.

The period between the end of the season and the start of training camp is a complete vacation, and urine tests conducted during this period have a 24-hour window.

The window period from the start of training camp to the start of the preseason is about two to three hours, divided into the morning and afternoon.

Right before our eyes, there is a surprise inspection.

Levi was not surprised by this.

Throughout the regular season, Levi has undergone 23 surprise urine tests. Especially in the week after a particularly outstanding performance that determines the outcome of a game, the number of surprise urine tests in the league will increase to a higher level.

Previously, Levi had heard that the most outrageous thing in the league was the surprise urine test four times a week, which meant that he had to be tested almost every day between games; but now, Levi has not received such treatment for the time being -

At most it's twice a week, but this treatment has happened more than once this season.

There is no doubt that this also indirectly proves two things.

First, Levi is truly in the spotlight, with the entire league paying attention.

Second, no matter how well Levi has performed this season, the better his performance is, the more doubts he has received, and all eyes are on this rookie.

The surprise inspection was not unexpected; perhaps the only unexpected thing was the timing:
Six thirty, really?
After Li Wei read the notice carefully, he said, "I know this is your job, but I still need you to show me your ID. Thank you for your cooperation."

On the side, the black-faced Yan Luo, who was secretly looking at Levi's apartment, was slightly surprised.

At this moment, Levi is the number one in North American competitive sports. Not only the NFL, but other basketball, ice hockey and baseball leagues have also heard of the name of this super star. His powerful influence is overwhelming, and he has so many off-field endorsements that he can't sign them all. However, no one has forgotten that the mansion with a swimming pool is still just a simple and plain apartment.

No matter how you look at it, he is just an ordinary freshman who has just entered the league.

and.

The whole apartment is clean, tidy, simple and clear.

No alcohol, no junk food, no leaves. Even a surprise raid early in the morning still showed that the apartment was kept clean and tidy.

It is obvious at a glance that Levi's attention is usually completely focused on football, and he does not let go and start enjoying a luxurious life.

It is rare, really rare, and it makes people take notice.

As the official inspector of the league, he needs to visit the homes of at least thirty different players every week on average, including veterans, rookies, and occasionally marginal players in the training group. It is a dazzling array of people. In a season, he can see all kinds of life, so it is not easy to surprise him.

At this time, Black-faced Yama was not surprised to hear Levi's words. He quickly retracted his gaze to conceal his emotions, took out his ID from his pocket and handed it over.

Li Wei confirmed the documents and said, "In the past, at least we would notify you in advance. Why didn't we notify you today?"

The black-faced Yama said sternly, "I left you a voice message saying I'll be there in five minutes. I set the stopwatch and knocked on your door in exactly five minutes."

Levi glanced at the Black-Faced Yama, a smile flashed in his eyes. He was sleeping, so naturally he didn't hear the call or voice message.

So, the answer is out.

The league did it on purpose, choosing this time point in order to catch the players off guard.

Levi is 100% sure that this is not the first time the alliance has done this.
