There's no requirement that he had to give the league jack shit, so he can't be obstructing shit. Players are required to give the league piss.
I think you're getting too excited about the analogy to PEDs, which is likely no more than a throw away argument adding one more level of distinction between these facts and Doty's recent oversteps.
I assume you're not suggesting that there is no requirement to cooperate with the investigation?
He cooperated with the investigation. There's no requirement that he turn over any physical evidence or his phone, and he'd be a moron to do so. Wells didn't even ask for the phone. And you say this as if the union would have let him do it.
The PED argument was the only substantive justification for the length of the suspension or the idea that a player can be arbitrarily suspended further for a contrived "lack of cooperation."
Laughed out loud at the "Doty's oversteps" comment. Good work if you were trying to achieve irony, bomber approved.
It was kind of fun for awhile. Activist judiciary ruined it though.
