This will not matter. The cowboys assistant coach was using steriods for medical reasons, but he didn't clear it with the NFL first so he was suspended for 4 games.

I was coming in here to say the exact same thing. Scarily enough, The Scientist knows his #### here.4 - Digit Shark

I agree.I also think the lack of coverage this story is getting is a joke. You have the NFL's leading rusher, on a contending team, facing a 1 year suspension and you can watch an hour of Sportcenter or the NFL Network and not get any info. Info coming out on the internet is slow as well. Maybe it's because things are not real clear right now, I don't know. I'm sure if Henry played QB on a bad team somewhere in the south we'd be getting overloaded with useless info for hours on end. I guess this isn't a big enough story to cover.

HENRY SUING TO BLOCK SUSPENSION
In a novel legal strategy that, for now, isn't completely clear, Broncos running back Travis Henry has been fighting in court since September 20 to keep the NFL from using against him a urine sample that presumably tested positive for marijuana.
Per Newsday, Henry sought a restraining order last month in Suffolk County, New York to prevent the NFL from using the specimen against him.
The skirmish also has spawned a federal court action -- possibly filed by the NFL to compel Henry to rely upon the arbitration procedures set forth in the collective bargaining agreement.
Absent further details, the effort seems to be a proactive Hail Mary pass from Henry aimed at preventing the league from taking the inevitable step of suspending him. And with nine mouths to feed and no other obvious marketable skills, we can't say we blame him for trying.

If you don't realize the difference between Vick and Henry's case...just wow.

No, I understand the difference. One has mass appeal while the other does not. One generated viewers while the other does not. I know how it works, and that's my point. Vick's crimes were far worse. And no, I'm not saying the NFL's leading rusher smoking pot is as big of a deal as the NFL's most overhyped player in history killing dogs. It's just the total lack of coverage surprises me, while the total over coverage of Vick sickened me.

The player has the right to have a representative present when the B sample is tested, but the rep is not allowed to be associated with any lab. Henry sent his rep, the NFL called
and said the rep was from a lab. The NFL refused to let that rep stay for the test. Henry's suit is to disallow any testing that may have occurred without the presence of his rep.ETA: I laughed.

So perhaps Henry's stretegy is to get the "B" sample thrown out and delay the decision long enough that he'll be able to pass if they take a "C" sample. Actually sounds pretty smart to me.I don't know if it's been posted in here or not, and I'm not reading through 11 pages to find out.

I highly doubt it will work though but what other choice does he have. He obviously knows he smoked and wants that other sample to be tossed.

Yep, that about sums it up. Henry filed his suit in state court in Suffolk County which issued a temporary restraining order, but the NFL has petitioned a judge on the Federal bench in Brooklyn to move it to Federal court because state court doesn't have jurisdiction over the collective bargaining agreement.Does anyone know if the NFL can/will just suspend him while that part of the legal process is still in the works? Do they leave themselves open legally to appeals under the CBA if they don't wait for the courts to grind it through?I don't know if it's been posted in here or not, and I'm not reading through 11 pages to find out.

In certain matters, you would be spot on here.

I THINK the deal with Vick was that it was pre-season, which I THINK the CBA doesn't cover. The CBA does cover the regular season and the NFL may need to let the legal process grind it's way through Henry's suit before they suspend him or they leave the door open for reversal on appeal. Does anyone know how that works exactly?

Bob Sacamano

You're right that he's ultimately likely to be suspended, but this isn't one of those instances where Goodell can just suspend him. Goodell has that power because there are lots of things not covered specifically in the CBA that the NFL wants to curb. Substance abuse issues have to follow a specifically outlined protocol to result in certain penalties. They dedicate 33 pages to it, and the NFLPA would definitely put up a fight if Goodell tried to take matters into his own hands outside the framework of the drug policy.benm3218 said:Goodell can suspend him for making the NFL look bad.

I would think that Zod would strongly encourage Shanny to let Travis "rest his knee" this week...and even if he didn't wouldn't it be tough for Shanny to hide behind "due process" to start Henry? Shanny strikes me as a guy who will drop the hammer on Henry without any encouragement from Zod.

The OP of that thread (locked thread back four or five pages at this point) though 'flufhead' seemed sincere to me and posted a link to a Titans forum where a guy named bongo was posting 'this is what I heard from an insider' stuff. It's REALLY odd that Henry IS done for the year and the reason Henry is(?) done for year has to do with bong(o) hits.Was the bongo stuff on the titans board a troll? Was 'bongo' just having fun with his handle and leaking the Henry suspension and saying that it was because of his knee? Did bongo hear that Henry was done for the year and assume it was because of his knee?

I'm not sure if you understand the question I was asking. My reading of Bambino's post here in this string that "Bongo is now reporting the pot was for medical use to help with the injured knee" was intended completely tongue in cheek. People are now discussing whether medical use matters, as if that post posed a factual conundrum. I read Bambino's post as an attempt at humor because the failed drug test was back in September and the knee injury occured just last week. I'm not sure on the rest of your response, it's possible Bongo was a troll on the Titan's board, but that's a different conversation.I've been wondering if the whole thing Wednesday with the insider tip from 'bongo' was a troll.

But I do agree that bambino was joking. It took what? 30 years before we found out who Deep Throat was? I doubt we'll ever know who 'bongo' is. And I really doubt that bambino talked to him. I did use your post though as a jumping off point for my own conspiracy theories, so thanks for the springboard.well, bongo has been around for years posting on titans boards. So, no the name wasn't made up just for this...But, I grant you that the chances of him being out a yr one way or another right after a post about his knee are TINY. I was laughing with some guys at work about it. I had them all go out and pick up Young due to 'henry's blown knee'. Now they are all tickled pink that they have him, just for another reason.

I am not a troll.Bongo is not a troll. Bongo is exactly as I described him. a Titans fan, and a person in the medical community (not sure if he is a doctor) that is privvy to more information than alot of people due to the fact that he consults on medical issues for teams (apparently). He posts every single bit of information he gets, without filter, and freely admits he is doing this just to get the information out there, and leave it to the reader to decide what credence to give it. He has had the scoop on some things, and has been way off on some others.I've been wondering if the whole thing Wednesday with the insider tip from 'bongo' was a troll.

Allright I'm gonna take a second to give you props, flufhed. Reading your boingo thread the other day is what lead me to pick up Selvin Young before anyone else in my league knew anything.
