Travis Henry Fails Drug Test, Sues NFL, Could Get One-Year Suspension


Broncos running back Travis Henry has tested positive for marijuana and could be suspended for one year, Fox 31 in Denver is reporting.

Meanwhile, Newsday is reporting that Henry is suing the NFL to prevent it from using the results of the drug test to suspend him. If the lawsuit fails -- and it seems like an incredible long shot -- he could also appeal, but the chances are very good that Henry will be suspended for a year, and that the suspension will come soon.

Henry, who is leading the league in rushing, served a four-game suspension in 2005 after testing failing a drug test when he played for the Tennessee Titans. Henry signed a five-year contract with the Broncos in March that guaranteed him $12 million, but unless the Broncos' front office is a collection of the world's biggest idiots, they included a provision that allowed them to get his bonus money back if he failed another drug test.
