We got the announcement on Wednesday. We didn't get the written decision on Wednesday, and as far as I know, we still don't have it. I don't know whether Gordon and his attorneys have it. If they don't, it'd be difficult for them to draft a civil complaint (unless the basis for the complaint is that they still don't have a written decision and a reasonable time has already elapsed).Wait, so we knew about the appeal decision before Gordon's lawyers?His legal team just got the appeal rejection on Thursday. While they knew the jist of it they need the actual rejection of his appeal to go over and find the legal arguments for a case. Courts were closed since Friday due to holiday so they probally have been working on the case all weekend and "if" they have one they will present it before the first game on Thursday. Its the legal system. Anything can happen. Remember they dont actually have to win. If the case gets thrown out eventually or he loses etc. Nothign would be done before the season is over I read so he would get to play the season if he gets the TRO.and they hold off the suspension until a decision is made. Not likely BUT can happen.
It was announced on Wednesday, after being leaked that a decision had been made on Tuesday. I'd be surprised if Gordon's lawyers didn't know the decision on Tuesday. IF they were going to sue, they should have done so before the weekend.
Within a reasonable period of time, following the hearing, the Commissioner will issue a written decision which will constitute a full, final, and complete disposition of the appeal and which will be binding on all parties.
