Bill Williamson of the Denver Post reports that the lawsuit filed by Broncos running back Travis Henry is expected to revolve around his claim that he inhaled second-hand marijuana smoke.

The logical question, then, is if Henry can just claim that he had marijuana in his system because he inhaled second-hand smoke, and if a court rules that the NFL can't suspend him because of that, how could anyone, ever, be suspended for a positive marijuana test? And why would Henry, who knew he was one positive test away from a one-year ban, put himself in a situation where he might inhale someone else's marijuana smoke?

There may be more to Henry's lawsuit than just claiming he inhaled second-hand smoke, though. He apparently will argue that the combination of low levels of THC in his urine sample and his willingness to submit to a lie detector test and give hair samples should entitle him not to be suspended.

That may be the stupidest defense since "I smoked, but I didn't inhale."

Au revoir Henry.

I know, I think he coulda been a little more creative, say like someone had him at gunpoint and said to smoke it or he'd die...

actualy it is possible to fail a drug test if you have inhaled second hand smoke.

It is absolutely true. I used to have to send people for drug testing as a supervisor in my last job. The owner said he didn't care what they did on their own time, but couldn't do that stuff on his time. The drug tests could show how much THC was in their system, and there was a standard. If you were over, you were fired. It must be fairly accurate because I heard employees yelling about lawsuits for unlawful termination, but never saw anyone file a claim.
