Cool.
I can't imagine any more red flag tests.

At this point- I wouldn't be surprised by anything. What a dum-dum. He's on the cusp of getting reinstated, and now this. Plain as mud now why his reinstatement got held up.
Hopefully they don't take a chance on this dude. He has had more chances then he deserves.
I'm finally coming around to this POV.
It seems to me there must be much more to this story. With a dilute and any level of THC showing this makes no sense. You would think this would lead to absolutely no chance of reinstatement this year. The fact they are still considering his reinstatement in the next several months makes it beyond odd.
If they're letting Josh do follow up drug tests- it leads me to believe what I speculated on earlier. Might just have been a trace of pot (which at this point is too damn much- Josh) & I have to wonder what their "fail" cutoff is for specific gravity. It's possible the sample was just under the cutoff. (The NFL isn't telling what it is) Pulling out the normals for urine SG- it can go all the way down to 1.002, which is damn near the SG of purified water 1.000 .

Both samples were under the cutoff level (for THC), but both contained a dilute, which is an automatic failure.

This whole thing still makes no sense. We are talking about someone who is banned from The NFL indefinitely. Based on that I can't imagine any circumstance under which they would consider reinstatement in the next 60 days when he purportedly intentionally tried to trick the test. I've been driving all day and unable to look at this stuff online. As an actual NFL source confirmed the test results? If not is it possible the red flag is behavior and not a failed test

Mike- I worked in a Hospital Lab for 30+ years. There's a difference between a diluted sample, and finding a drug in the urine like hydroclorothiazide (there's a bunch of others) - which can be used to promote urine production- to dilute a sample. I'll have to assume they actually watch the person pee- or else it's easy enough to keep a warm bag of water on your body to dilute the sample with. They're supposed to check the temperature of the sample- to prevent someone loading up the sample from a faucet.
-
They wouldn't fail someone if it wasn't suspected of intentional dilution. Would they? They detected THC and dilute in both samples.
-
Not sure. He's a banned player applying for reinstatement and his test allegedly failed per NFL testing rules. I don't know why, other than the report of a failed test is inaccurate, the NFL is showing mercy, or the NFL is a hypocritical entity with only profits on its mind.

Come on "fans", Ye fickle fucks, trust in Gordon. Comeback player of the year.
Have some faith. I believe in Gordon. I know many of you do not, and you never have.
I have his back, he's been working his tail off, trying to get ready for the comeback he's about to make.
Some people are what we like to call "haters", and these haters are everywhere and must be dealt with accordingly. People are always looking for a way to bash Gordon and it makes me sick. Will the world ever grow up? This report has got to be bogus... and yet, our own fans have turned their back on our best player... smh. When someone fires on your guy you are supposed to have their back, not turn on your own guy. From day one he's never been given the benefit of the doubt.

Our best player? Right now he's less valuable than Dwayne Bowe
At least there's still a chance he could be reinstated, but I'm not holding my breath.

I would like to have this thread retitled to say he "allegedly failed" and the idiot part removed. This is bullshit and not everybody believes that it's true.

I am betting when the smoke clears (pun intended) there is no failed test. Any kind of failure or dilute would make no sense for them considering reinstatement. I think the red flags delaying reinstatement are. Behavior and association related.

Josh Gordon attending a MMA event and taking a photo with Manziel is not holding up his reinstatement.
This is not real life, is it? Jesus Christ.

if they do reinstate him for some unknown reason....he needs to be on the trading block after his first catch. Take a supplemental pick for him at this point.

You can back the dumb fuck who apparently doesn't like playing football. The rest of us will follow the Browns.
