"To begin with, the NFL's threshold for THC levels is 15 nanograms per milliliter, compared to a 50 ng/ml level used by the U.S. Military and MLB, and a 150 ng/ml level used by the World Anti-Doping Agency, which oversees the Olympics. Although the NFL's level is too stringent to begin with, its testing policy is even worse."

For Gordon, the "A" bottle showed a concentration of 16 ng/ml, only one nanogram per milliliter above the limits of 15. The "B" bottle showed a concentration of 13.6 ng/ml — less than the threshold.

If the labels on his samples had been reversed he would have passed the test.


"The results, published this month in the Journal of Analytical Toxicology, gives nonsmokers with weed-using friends reason to breathe easy. The scientists found urine levels of this metabolite surpassed typically detectable levels (50 nanogram per milliliter) in only one experiment participant, and this happened during a brief window four to six hours after exposure.

Using a more sensitive test, however, which is not usually employed in the workplace, scientists could detect blood THC levels above the 20 nanogram per milliliter in several participants in the hours after exposure. But these concentrations dipped below this threshold for all participants within 24 hours, according to the study, conducted by researchers at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine and elsewhere."

Not mad at him just because I think weed being on the NFL substance abuse list and tested for to the extent it is, is pretty fukking ridiculous all things considered. ..the league is a multi-billion dollar operation built off the backs of these dudes literally killing themselves. ..they should damb near have weed dispensaries in all NFL stadiums just to help with pain relief and prevent these dudes from getting addicted to pills and shyt...in like 15 years it'll all look silly

Well written.

Although we all know the second hand smoke story is :duck:

A lot of these dudes on TV are just talking out of their ass and don't really know what they are talking about or who they were talking about. I'm glad he put them in their place, and hopefully they offer him a well deserved apology.

I'm rooting for him. I understand rules are rules, but that doesn't stop me from acknowledgement the rules are dumb. IMO he shouldn't have been suspended in the first place. Then checking him for alcohol is the dumbest shyt ever. But there's probably hundreds of player on much stronger prescription drugs. This country's morals are a farce.

After the season he got 2 drinks/beers on the flight and got a surprised drug test call. Its his fault for not checking since the season was over, but to label him as having a problem is wrong in his opinion.
