Josh Gordon apparently barrrrrrrrely failed

A source informed Profootballtalk that suspended WR Josh Gordon's failed drug test barely generated a positive, and it would have been a negative had luck been on Gordon's side. Gordon was summoned for a urine sample. Those samples are split into two bottles, one marked "A" and the other "B." It's completely random which one is marked "A" and which is labeled "B." "A" is tested first, and if it generates a positive test, then "B" is tested. The limit is 15 nanograms-per-milliliter. Gordon's "A" bottle showed a concentration of 16 ng/ml, while his "B" registered a 13.6 ng/ml. The result was a failed test. If urine sample handlers would have by chance marked the "A" bottle "B" and the "B" bottle "A," then Gordon would be free to play. Gordon is appealing the ban, and his hearing will be held on Friday. There seems to be a decent chance he wins.
So you're saying there's a chance?

He also hired Richard Sherman's lawyer from when he beat a suspension and has checked into rehab

He needs to rush out and beat-a-bitch. The NFL will have no choice but to reduce his suspension.

He should win. That's pretty shitty.

I hope he wins his appeal because the no marijuana rule is just dumb, not based on the fact that he barely failed.
Barely failing is still failing. He still smoked the weed.

I have a hard time feeling sorry for him. He knew the rules and the consequences and still decided to smoke.

He put himself in the position to leave it up to the numbers and laws of averages.

Also, 15 ng/ml is a really small number.
Usual tests are 50 ng/ml.
If there was a varience between the two of 2.4 ng/ml he certainly has a case as the two standard deviations of confidence intervals for 95% confidence falls well outside the 15 ng/ml spectrum.
I'm actually pro Josh Gordon now, frick that test.

And Ray Rice "barely" laid the smackdown on his wife.

wait whats the point of testing B if it doesn't matter?
this sounds like BS but i don't understand. Is there a lesser number for the B sample?
