Randy Moss may regret he was ever frank while on camera.
The Oakland Raiders receiver is waiting to hear from the NFL if he'll be placed in the league's drug program, ESPN reported on Monday. Four years ago, Moss entered the program and was tested up to 10 times a month.
Last month, Moss told HBO Sports that he still smokes marijuana, albeit occasionally. After that interview, ESPN reported that Dr. Rick Spodafora, the NFL's medical director, called Moss in for testing.
But Moss reportedly refused the test. Fox Sports reported that his attorney, David Cornwall, set up a meeting to lobby on Moss' behalf that his interview did not constitute grounds to be tested.
In an August interview with HBO's "Real Sports with Bryant Gumbel," Moss said he still smokes marijuana "every blue moon."
"I have used, you know, marijuana ... since I've been in the league," Moss said. "But as far as abusing it and, you know, letting it take control over me, I don't do that, no."

Spodafora, who is independent of both the NFL and the National Football League Players' Association, is still considering Moss' argument. No timetable has yet been set for a decision. If Spodafora rules that Moss can be tested and the wideout still refuses, Moss could be suspended since suspensions could come from two missed drug tests -- as Moss has already refused to participate in one.
