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.

Grasping at straws...

If you piss was clean, then you shouldn't have had any worries.

This guy is looking more and more like a douchebag!

So much for the belief that your soldiers don't march when you are a pot head. This dude if this is all confirmed is entering Maurice Clarett waters.

Is anyone surprised? Shanny has turned a blind eye to players with character issues for a while now. Looks like the coach has lost his touch and has been getting desperate. Unfortuantely, it hasnt really been paying off.

If true, his azz should be kicked to the curb...if he's not smart enough to realize that he was thisclose to striking out on the drug program and stay away from pot, it's his problem. No not being a hyporcite, I gave it up years ago for fear of being tested randomly and losing my job. Miss it now and then but at least I still have my job.

Ditto, time to send a message to the team and especially to the Rooks!

HEAV · 10-04-2007, 10:04 PM

I would assume Shanny has known about this for sometime. Right?

REB · 10-04-2007, 10:09 PM

If that doesn't sound like the action of a guilty man, I don't know what does.

See ya dumbass loser. Go Selvin! It's yours for the taking young man.
