Cleveland Browns wide receiver Josh Gordon has officially been suspended for one year by the NFL. Gordon attempted to appeal the suspension but the league handed down their final verdict on Wednesday.
In his appeal, Gordon claimed that his positive weed test came as a result of second-hand smoke. In two testing samples, his failed “A” sample was one nanogram per milliliter above the league’s threshold of 15 nanograms per milliliter, while the “B” sample measured below the threshold at 13.63.
Gordon’s first suspension came either from lean, or he just happened to use a cough syrup that contained codeine. In addition to the two failed tests, Gordon was charged with a DUI this off season. Gordon won’t be eligible to participate in NFL related activities until August 27th, 2015.
