DENVER --

 

Fox 31 News has learned that Denver Broncos running back Travis Henry, the team's leading rusher, has tested positive for Josh Gordon use and could be subject to a one-year suspension.

 

Henry, 28, previously served a four-game suspension from the National Football League for violating the leagues substance abuse policy in September 2005 as a member of the Tennessee Titans.

 

Henry can appeal the latest violation. However, if the appeal is denied, he will begin serving a one-year suspension immediately.

 

WOW!! I just traded Henry today and got Ronnie Brown for him!!!! and I just picked up S. Young !!! might really turn my season around..

Broncos running back Travis Henry sues NFL to withold drug test results

Denver Broncos running back Travis Henry is embroiled in a lawsuit to keep the NFL from using the results of a drug test to suspend him, according to court papers filed in Brooklyn federal court.

 

Henry fired the first salvo in the case Sept. 20 when he attempted to get a restraining order in Suffolk County Supreme Court to block the NFL from using a urine specimen against him and to stop the league from disclosing the test results.

 

Court papers filed in the state court action couldn't be reviewed late Thursday, and Henry's attorney Robert Dapelo of Patchogue declined comment. But papers filed by the NFL on Monday in federal court suggested that Henry may have failed the test because the documents stated that Henry was trying to stop the league from testing his specimen and "suspending from his employment with the NFL."

 

While the Suffolk court granted the temporary restraining order against the NFL, the league got an appellate court to vacate that order, court papers disclosed.

 

The NFL is seeking to have the litigation transferred to Brooklyn federal court because the issue involves interpretation of the league's collective bargaining agreement, which generally is covered by federal labor laws. Henry claims that the NFL violated league substance abuse policy by not allowing his experts to be present for testing of his urine specimen, court papers stated.

 

The 28 year-old Henry was signed by the Broncos in March after stints with the Tennessee Titans and Buffalo Bills. He leads the league in rushing this season with 433 yards.

 

NFL attorney Sean O'Donnell of Manhattan declined to comment late Thursday.

If true, he'll obviously appeal. My question would be, how long until a decision is reached on his appeal?

He would be placed in limbo immed...if the appeal is denied..then hes out for a year.....I just grabed Young....

This is the most challenging yr yet...
