Michael Irvin Claims Rape Kit Came Back Negative ... Cops Won't Confirm
Michael Irvin says his legal team has been informed the rape kit in his sexual assault investigation has come back negative ... though officials would not confirm or deny when contacted by TMZ Sports.
As we previously reported, the NFL Hall of Famer is being investigated for allegedly drugging and raping a 27-year-old woman at a Florida hotel back in March.
Irvin has adamantly denied ANY wrongdoing and says he never touched the accuser.
As for the claim about the negative rape kit, we're told Irvin got that information from his Miami legal team which told Irvin they'd been in contact with police investigators.
We called the Ft. Lauderdale Police Dept. to verify Irvin's claim -- but a rep told us the PD could not comment on an open investigation and Irvin's case is still pending.
Irvin is clearly confident he will be fully exonerated.

Doc Rivers has a message for Clipper fans freaking out about their point guard heading to San Antonio ... telling TMZ Sports if he has his way (which he does), Chris Paul ain't going ANYWHERE.
Multiple outlets have reported there's mutual interest between the Spurs and Paul, with San Antonio wanting a new point guard (sorry, Tony Parker) and CP3 wanting to play for a contender (sorry, Clippers).
So when we got Rivers out at Madeo we had to ask about Paul's future with the team, being that Doc is the Clippers prez, and the only guy who can make the trade happen.
And according to Doc ... it ain't happening ... 'cause he told our guy Paul is 'absolutely' staying with the Clippers, and he seemed pretty concrete on it.

NBA's Enes Kanter Reportedly Wanted in Turkey ... Alleged Terrorist Ties
NBA star Enes Kanter is reportedly a wanted man in Turkey -- where government officials have accused him of being a member of an anti-government "terror group."
But Kanter doesn't appear to be worried -- and is reportedly mocking his accusers.
The Turkish media outlet Daily Sabah is reporting that an arrest warrant has been issued in Turkey for the OKC Thunder star's arrest.
DS says officials believe Kanter is a member of an "armed terrorist organization" -- though the exact group is not mentioned by name.
However, most people believe the issue stems from Kanter's support for an exiled Muslim leader named Fethullah Gulen -- who, like Kanter, has been very critical of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
Kanter reportedly commented on the Daily Sabah's story by mocking the situation and taunting the government. Here's the tweet translated from Turkish:
"You cannot catch me. Hahaha. Don't waste your energy ... I am already going to come to [Turkey] to spit on all of your ugly, hate-filled faces."
Kanter was detained in Romania on his way back to the U.S. last week -- but eventually made it to America and now vows to become an American citizen.
