kingfish247 Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 Wow, so much for the allowable limits in the CBA. What's the friggin' point? Everyone will be arguing second hand smoke inhalation now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qball86 Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 Wow, so much for the allowable limits in the CBA. What's the friggin' point? Everyone will be arguing second hand smoke inhalation now. But was his appeal based on seond hand or based on the NFL not administering the process correctly? I thought his point was something about them not conducting the testing procedure correctly.

Czarina Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 I would think that he couldn't have won the appeal had the hair testing, etc., not come back clean, no? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caveman_Nick Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 But was his appeal based on seond hand or based on the NFL not administering the process correctly? I thought his point was something about them not conducting the testing procedure correctly. Exactly what I thought as well. How can the NFL demand testing that can cost players millions of dollars via suspension if they are not going to follow the procedures they set forth in the agreement?

MTSuper7 Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 Funny thing is that somehow this doesn't really help the fantasy picture very much. Henry had fumbleitis last week in Oakland, plus he's been banged up most of the year. I still find it hard to drop S. Young even with this news.

Randall Posted December 4, 2007 Author Share Posted December 4, 2007 From ESPN John Clayton ESPN.com Denver Broncos halfback Travis Henry won an appeal of his one-year drug suspension and will be able to finish out the remainder of the season. Henry claimed his positive drug test for Josh Gordon was because he was a victim of secondhand smoke. Faced with the possibility of getting a one-year suspension because he's been a past offender, Henry even took his case to a federal court. After waiting for a ruling, Henry was notified Tuesday afternoon he won his appeal. "Travis Henry will remain in the substance abuse program, must continue to adhere to all aspects of it, but will not be suspended following his appeal," the NFL announced in a statement Tuesday. "The defense of hair samples and lie detector tests was irrelevant and unconvincing, but our substance abuse program is based on meeting the highest standards and respecting player rights in all phases of its administration." Henry convinced Mike Shanahan and the Broncos of his innocence by agreeing to a lie detector test and the use of hair samples for testing purposes. Had he failed the lie detector test, Shanahan said he would have considered releasing him, but Henry passed the test and had the full faith of his coach. Henry has missed four games this year because of a knee injury. He has 629 yards on 143 carries and three touchdowns. "We are pleased with this outcome and happy that Travis has been absolved of any wrongdoing with respect to this matter," the Broncos said in a statement. "The Broncos look forward to Travis Henry's continued participation on the playing field." Senior writer John Clayton covers the NFL for ESPN.com.

BillyBalata Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 How come they're making him stay in the NFL's substance abuse program? I thought that had expired. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menudo Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 O.k. Henry is obviously an idiot to the n'th degree on a personal level. However, does anyone thing he has any value heading into next year with a clean slate ? When healthy, which is definitely an issue, the guy is extremely talented.

If he was in stage 2 he has to stay on it for 24 months, if stage 3 he stays on it his entire NFL career. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMHO, I don't think he is a Bronco next year. I have no evidence for this, just a gut instinct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
