ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) -- Denver Broncos running back Travis Henry, the league's leading rusher, is trying to prevent the NFL from suspending him over the results of a drug test, Newsday reported Thursday.

Henry was granted a temporary restraining order in Suffolk County (N.Y.) Supreme Court to prevent the league from using a urine specimen against him and to prevent the league from disclosing the test results, but an appellate court vacated the order, according to court papers filed in Brooklyn federal court.

The report on the newspaper's Web site said Henry claims the league violated its substance abuse policy by not allowing his experts to be present for testing of his urine sample, according to court papers.

The league wants the matter transferred to federal court because it involves interpretation of the NFL's collective bargaining agreement, generally covered by federal labor laws.

Pending an appeal, Henry would be subject to a yearlong suspension if he tested positive again. While in Tennessee, Henry was suspended four games in September 2005 by the NFL for violating the league's substance abuse policy.

wow, he truely is an idiot.

you know he is guilty when he sues the NFL and prevents them from trying to see the results of the second drug test, that makes it a little obvious that he is trying to hide something.

They should cut him, like now. There are plenty of backs in free agency that could put up, the numbers hes putting up with the line. Denvers sceem made Olandis Gary look good! C'mon now.

He has appealed so he is free to play this weekend, except he hasn't practiced all week and is no more than 50/50 to play anyways. Beyond that I doubt he has much of a chance.

Is it really that hard to not smoke pot???

For Henry? It's probably to reduce sperm production so that he doesn't have any more kids...

you might have a point. As a backup Young has 15 carries 138 yards. I think he is very capable of starting for the Broncos offense.

Theres the old never trust a Broncos RB fantasy rule. Usually it applies to Shanahan screwing with fantasy owners and flipping a coin to see who starts a RB, though this time its actually the RBs fault.
