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

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.

So Mike if that's the case why would they even consider reinstating in this year

[Mike H]

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.

Stay strong and prove them wrong. #1 in the League. #Webarktogether

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.

[bbedward]

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.

[PoeticG]

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.

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.

You're right, innocent until proven guilty. I updated to "REPORT(s):" , because Ian Rapopport corroborated the FOX report.

Fair enough. Thanks.

Gordon is an easy target.

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.

Josh Gordon's application for reinstatement was denied, per Cleveland.com

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Browns receiver Josh Gordon's petition for reinstatement from his indefinite drug ban has been denied by the NFL, a league source told cleveland.com.

He can apply for reinstatement later in the year.

If anyone thought he was coming back...they need to get punched back up their daddys dick.

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

He's a douchebag just hope this doesn't get too much media coverage and he doesn't get any empathy/sympathy

PG- I always thought Josh was an idiot for getting busted so many times, but an honest idiot. No longer. It matters not what your opinion- or my opinion of marijuana is. The league says you can't use it. FWIW, my former employer had random drug testing with a zero tolerance policy. You think I'd be stupid enough to light one up at the risk of losing my job? Well Josh is sure dumb enough- to use at the risk of literally- pissing away Tens of $$ Millions because he likes to get high. I'm not privy to all the specifics- but based on the MKC article- the league thinks he was trying to cheat on that drug test. If they didn't- he'd already be reinstated. For the general population pot may not be addictive- but for that 1% it sure is. Josh needs rehab as much as the enabler he's currently hanging out with Johnny Former-Football.

Zero surprise Mike- it's time to move on. How many drug tests has he failed? I've lost count.

What was that 60s song?

Anybody here seen my old friend Josh, can you tell me where he's gone?

Sittin' on the porch with Justin and Johnny smokin' weed and gettin' drunk.
