ganesh Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 Just heard on the CBS PRegame show. Travis Henry is going to be suspended 4 games for violating the substance abuse policy. Must be trying riods to stay healthy!!! 452723[/snapback] The guy had no official offseason conditioning, waiting for a trade to happen...so misses an entire offseason...then finally gets a trade and is asked to compete for a starting job with a guy who has been through the whole offseason in their system...the guys probably under pressure took the roids to get up to speed fast...

Give the guy a break. Maybe the NFL should waive his suspension because he is a victim! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merlin Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 More info about Travis Henry's suspension ... "...Fisher said they asked league officials about Henry before the trade and were only told that the running back was in the program." so ... that means that Henry must have failed at least one drug test while he was with the Bills? I don't remember ever hearing anything about that. And then Fisher goes on to say " ... "We expect Travis to get help, comply fully with the league requirements as far as the suspension is concerned. That would include testing, counseling, etc., etc. ... " This sounds more like an addiction problem of some sort, rather than steroids ....

That means this is Henry's third failed drug test. Could be recreational drugs, could be performance enhancing, impossible to say. CW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's on the third failing test that it is publicly announced and they get the 4 game suspension. This is what happened to Wicky. I would bet that Travis's problem also involves the chronic.

Johnny Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 Actually to be fair, he had 23 fumbles and 29 TD's (27 rushing, 2 receiving) for us. 454246[/snapback] maybe we shouldnt worry about Losman......i remember when most of this board thought he was better than mcgahee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
