If the NFL did, they could be a Heath Insurance Portability and Privacy Act (HIPPA) covered party, and if the NFL released the results, as a HIPPA covered entity, they could have compromised Private Health Information (PHI), and would be in violation of the HIPPA act for doing so.
It is possible that the players agreed to the NFL Substance Abuse programs in their contract, which may be construed as providing permission for the release under HIPPA, but if the NFL did not follow thier own policy, and are a covered entity in this case, then they violated HIPPA.

This sounds like something I may have posted if I knew anything about privacy laws.
