Former Arizona Cardinals general manager Steve Keim is facing accusations of orchestrating multiple defamatory schemes against people he has worked with, according to a report from OutKick. The claims include an allegation from ex-Cardinals wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins that Keim was somehow behind a failed NFL drug test that returned a positive result for a banned substance, a case reported to have cost Hopkins around $13 million. Keim, once named NFL Executive of the Year, has not publicly responded to the allegations, though he has reportedly addressed them privately with friends and business associates.

The available report is limited in detail, but indicates the accusations against Keim extend beyond the Hopkins case to other alleged schemes. Hopkins, now with the Baltimore Ravens after spells with the Cardinals, Tennessee Titans and Kansas City Chiefs, is said to have suffered significant financial loss connected to the failed test. Further specifics on the other allegations and any formal response from Keim were not detailed in the source material.
