That's what Im thinking. If it's so easy to file an injunction which would allow the suspended player to play, every guy who has ever been suspended would be filing one, you'd think.

Players can only file suit and get an injunction if the CBA testing procedures violate state law. Most players who get suspended, the testing procedure was perfectly fine. Gordon's case is much more uncommon in that if they had tested his B sample instead of the A sample, it would not be deemed a positive result. He also presented a lot of evidence regarding he processing of his sample.

Ohio has laws regarding drug testing in relation to its Worker's Comp program. The NFL gets plenty of use out of state worker's comp plans. If those regulations apply to the Cleveland Browns, then Gordon probably has a strong enough showing to get a TRO.
