Adam Vinatieri got drug tested the day after nailing a 53-yard field goal

Adam Vinatieri, the 42-year-old kicker for the Indianapolis Colts, drilled a 53-yard field goal in his team's win over the Bengals on Sunday. This is not something a middle-aged man should be able to do, so is that why Vinatieri found a drug test notice in his locker on Monday?

It was Vinatieri's fourth field goal of 50 yards or more this season. Vinatieri has been having arguably the best season of his career. He hit all of his extra points and only missed one field goal.

Colts punter Pat McAfee, who shared the photo of Vinatieri's test notice, is familiar with curiously timed drug tests. He got tested last season after laying out a kick returner.
