Denver Broncos runningback Travis Henry has been accused of failing the NFL drug test. Henry was suspended by the league for four games in 2005 because of a repeat violation of the substance abuse policy. If Henry is found to have infact violated the leauges substance abuse policy for the 3rd time, he could face a one-year suspension for a repeat violation. Henry has appealed the leauges test of his "B-sample" claiming that the NFL did not allow his personal expert to be present during the testing. Blocking a test sample in the leagues rules deemsthe test to have been failed. Henry wants to submit a hair sample and also take a lie detector test to prove that the positive test by th league administered drug test was false. Travis adamently states that he has been clean for years and believes these test will prove his innocence. The case has been transfered to federal jurisdiction where it will be determined whether he league is to suspend him for the required year or not. Fantasy owner of Henry should be keep their eye on this story. Denver is going to give him the starting role until he is found guilty. The outcome of this case should be done in the next 3 weeks or so. Fantasy owners should start the leagues top runner until it is determined whether he will play or not. If you have suffient backs to fill his place, try attempting to trade him away while he still is valuable.
