REPORT(s): Josh Gordon diluted drug test (failure) -- LAST MONTH! IDIOT!
-
He has until August first to prove himself. Apparently Goodell gave him until then to clean up his act and prove he can stay clean. The NFL really wants him to come back I guess.
-
I think the reason he isnt going to have his suspension lengthened is because hes not really in the NFL so the fail doesnt really "count".

It's an indefinite suspension, he was just allowed to apply for reinstatement after 1 year.

they must or they are just abiding by the rules set forth by the CBA. i would think that's the only reason his keister isn't on the streets looking for other work.
the browns and the NFL must be crazy to think that now, after all this time, he will clean up his act in a 3 month span. or let's say he goes away in a box for 3 months and tests clean and is reinstated.........who's rollin with gordon given his history concerning this matter going back to HS and who knows what he was doing then? wasn't he popped like 3 times before we drafted him? and what 3 times (now with a diluted test) after?
uh.........

Where'd you get this info?
I don't think it's far fetched to think the NFL wants us to have this. Having a team this bad isn't good for the league.

Gordon can apply for reinstatement again on August 1.
Goodell will make his decision within 60 days, so by October he could be a Brown again.
The link is ESPN.
But, we can assume Gordon will continue to live with Manziel and throw his life away. Party On, Garth!

:wacko:A brief history...
October 20, 2010 - at Baylor, he and teammate Willie Jefferson are found asleep in Taco Bell
drive-thru. Police found marijuana in Jefferson's car. Jefferson, who was
driving, was kicked off team because it's his 2nd violation. Gordon suspended.
July 2011 - Gordon suspended indefinitely for failing drug test and testing positive for
marijuana.
August 2011 - transfers to Utah
2012 - fails drug test. Suspended. Declares for NFL Supplemental Draft. Tell's Plain Dealer
he's a "changed person".
June 2013 - suspended first 2 games for violating NFL substance abuse program. Tested
positive for codeine.
July 5, 2014 - arrested in NC for driving while impaired. Suspended for 10 games. Plays in 5 games
and looks like he could give less than a fuck.
January 2015 - suspended for entire 2015 season.
April 2016 - test positive for marijuana and dilution.
You haters/fickle fans need to back off and give the kid a chance.

Gordon agent wants probe into who leaked the
failed drug test.
another lawsuit waiting to happen.
dump the stupid bastidge, isn't worth
trading him after he ever gets reinstated,
for a very low 7th round draft pick,
and that's iffy.

No expectations, but might as well wait at this point.

Add to the above the fact that he takes plays off & hangs out with Manziel.
Come on young players...see what the Browns will tolerate if you're talented! Party Central!
Bullshit! Send the message that, regardless of talent level, track records such as Gordon's will NOT be tolerated in Cleveland.
IMO, it can cost us PLENTY to keep waiting.

Interesting article claiming his tests weren't a fail by the standards in place.
The investigation is to leaking of medical records and the articles written stating its a failed test. Also we seem to be reacting to BS reports him and Manziel are rooming together. Seems that they are NOT roommates. I thinks its the media's way to stay relevant.

He is talented, and other than the drugs- isn't a character risk. I could see this.

:wacko:Mik- I agree- even if he tests totally clean, and gets reinstated in August- should the Browns take a chance on him? Hmmmmm. He'd probably have more value to the team than some Street FA hanger-on. My feeling- take him on, but count on him as much as you would a Practice Squad guy. He gets busted again- it's time to dump him.

Stupidity clarification here. During 1 year suspension, Josh was tested & passed? Last months test showed THC but under league limit? Only last months test shows diluting agents were used? So a cover up (Josh) uses dilute & NFL calls it even for false reporting a failed drug test which equals to a 90 day probation period with new testing vs. life time Ban?

Just to see exactly how much things have changed since this was written back in 2012:
Former Baylor WR Josh Gordon hopes to leave his past behind him
By John McClain on July 10, 2012 at 4:03 PMThe worst part of receiver Josh Gordonâs life was being suspended by Baylor and missing out on one of the greatest football seasons in school history. From his position on the outside looking in, Gordon watched his former teammates finish 10-3 and win the Alamo Bowl. He saw his former quarterback, Robert Griffin III, win the Heisman Trophy.
âLeaving Baylor was the hardest thing,â Gordon said after working out for 21 NFL teams on Tuesday at the Texansâ practice bubble. âIâd get up in the morning, turn on ESPN, and there they were, some of my best friends doing such great things. They did exactly what we believed we were capable of doing when I was there. âEverything I thought I had, everything in front of me, just went down the drain. I didnât want to stop chasing my dream, so I transferred, sat out the season and worked as hard as I could to start from scratch.â
Gordon, who grew up in Houston and played at Lamar High School before heading to Waco, had no one to blame but himself. He created the problems that caused him to enter Thursdayâs supplemental draft. âThe supplemental draft isnât the way you want to go into the NFL when youâre growing up, but considering my circumstances, Iâve got to attack it with a full head of steam and do the best I can,â said Gordon, 21.
In 2010, his sophomore year, Gordon played in 13 games, including five starts. He caught 42 passes for 714 yards and seven touchdowns and added six more receptions in the Bearsâ loss to Illinois in the Meineke Car Care Bowl of Texas at Reliant Stadium. In October 2010, Gordon and teammate Willie Jefferson were arrested after they fell asleep in a drive-through line at a Taco Bell. Police found marijuana in Jeffersonâs car. Jefferson, who was driving, was kicked off the team because it was his second violation. Jefferson transferred to Stephen F. Austin, switched to defense and became an All-America defensive end and legitimate NFL prospect.
Gordon got another chance. He finished the season. The charge of misdemeanor marijuana possession was later dropped. But in July 2011, coach Art Briles suspended Gordon indefinitely for an undisclosed rules violation. âIt was due to a failed marijuana test,â Gordon said. âIt was against school policy, of course, and I was (suspended) in the summer. Iâve definitely put that part of my life behind me. I donât plan to ever go back there. It was a difficult time, but I learned from it, and Iâve moved on.â
In August, Gordon transferred to Utah, where he prepared for what would have been his senior year. But he passed it up and entered the supplemental draft, where he could go as high as the second or third round. âThey (scouts) want to know what kind of character guy I am,â he said. âThey want to know if I can be trusted. They want to know if Iâm going to be a guy that always has off-the-field issues. I want to make it clear Iâm not going to be that guy. âI know how much heartache it caused my family, how much strain it put on me and my family. I donât plan to ever go back there again.â
Gordonâs agent, Jeff Nalley, set up Tuesdayâs workout, which was overseen by former UCLA coach Reggie Moore. Quarterback Jevon Snead threw passes to Gordon. Gordon (6-31â8, 224) ran the 40-yard dash in 4.52. âI thought everything went pretty well today,â he said. âIâm happy with what I did. âHaving a chance to play in the NFL is a dream come true for me and my family. I appreciate having this opportunity. If Iâm not drafted, Iâll be happy to get a chance as a free agent.â
I welcome the only Defensive Coordinator to earn a Superbowl Ring in New Orleans while understanding Revenge of the Nerds is a sequel. "Come get some!"
