Henry allegedly fails drug test

Citing “the same highly-placed NFL source that broke news of failed drug tests by both Miami running back Ricky Williams and Henry to Fox31 in the past” MyFoxColorado.com is reporting that former Denver running back Travis Henry has failed another drug test.

The source told the network that Henry is facing a one-year suspension from the NFL – a punishment he narrowly avoided last season when he was facing the same penalty only to have it overturned upon appeal.

He served a four-game suspension in 2005 for another offense.

Denver signed Henry to a five-year, $22.5 million contract after he had a breakthrough season with Tennessee, but he struggled through inconsistency and injury last year with the Broncos. He was cut in June by coach Mike Shanahan for inconsistency as a person and as a player.

The pending suspension would seem to cast doubts upon his ability to get another job, given his age and his history.
