Two weeks ago, Judge Gary Larson ruled that, although the NFL violated Minnesota law in connection with the steroids tests imposed against Vikings defensive tackles Kevin and Pat Williams, the four-game suspensions should not permanently be blocked. On Friday, the next decision will come in the StarCaps saga.
According to various reports, Larson will unveil at 10:00 a.m. C.T. on Friday his decision as to whether the temporary injunctions will be extended as the players appeal the decision to permit the suspensions to be imposed.
Meanwhile, NFL spokesman Greg Aiello has suggested that the Williamses won't be permitted to serve their suspensions consecutively. "There is no precedent for it," Aiello told Tom Pelissero of 1500ESPN.com. "We are not making any announcements regarding suspensions today. I am referring to history and how the program works."
We think there is precedent for making case-by-case deviations from the policy. Indeed, the league has refrained from suspending Saints defensive end Will Smith and former Saints defensive end Charles Grant pending the outcome of the StarCaps case, even though the league has had full clearance for months to implement the suspensions.
