Overview
- Hopkins posted and then deleted a public claim that he was “set up” over his 2022 failed PED test and the message appeared to implicate former Cardinals GM Steve Keim.
- Keim issued an unequivocal denial through a statement to Pro Football Talk and said he retained attorney Raees Mohamed to protect his reputation.
- Hopkins’ 2022 six‑game suspension remains tied to the NFL’s strict‑liability drug rules even though an independent expert judged the positive result consistent with supplement contamination.
- Recent reporting shows Keim’s name on a Motion Ventures pitch deck and links to Mohamed Coulibaly, who was accused of a scheme targeting NFL players, but journalists have not found proof connecting those items to Hopkins’ test.
- The next developments to watch are whether Keim files civil claims, whether journalists produce documentary evidence tying Keim to the 2022 test, and how the dispute affects both men’s reputations and legal exposure.
