No player has ever won a case against the NFL on the grounds he failed a drug test due to "second-hand smoke." This is Josh Gordon's claim, and the NFL is pushing back. "A cornerstone of both of our drug testing programs has always been that you are responsible for what is in your body," stated NFL VP of communications Greg Aiello. "It is stated that way in the policies." Aiello also confirmed the NFL has suspended several players in the past for "not being responsible for what is in your body." Gordon remains at serious risk of a lengthy suspension.

Second hand smoke won't keep me from getting fired if I tested positive for marijuana. Should be no different here. Gordon had already been suspended for testing positive so he should have left as soon as the blunt was fired up. No excuses.
