ESPN's Adam Schefter reports Josh Gordon will argue in his appeal hearing this his positive marijuana test was the result of second-hand smoke.
The news comes to light after it was revealed that Gordon's positive test was barely above the NFL's strict threshold. Gordon would have tested negative for marijuana in Major League Baseball, the Olympics and even the federal government. It shines a light on just how odious the NFL's marijuana policy is. Gordon's appeal will be heard on Friday.
looking like zero game suspension fellas. look, breaking the rules is stupid and i get that, especially when he has an opportunity to play in a league that most men only dream about. the numbers are consistent with that of a failed test due to second hand smoke. lets be real, marijuana is harmless and should not only be decriminalized but also used by pro athletes to treat pain so that they don't become addicted to pills. lets put the torches and pitchforks away and let the kid be a kid.
He is not a kid any more he is a young adult.It is time for him to grow up.He has responsibilitys to his team and teammates.He has 2 young QBS that really need him.Its time for him to quite thinking about himself all the time and become the great player that he can be.Step up and become a leader.Rules are rules even if we don't agree he still has to follow them.I hope he gets help because he is great to watch .
