Sperm Edwards Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2010/05/21/latest-starcaps-decision-likely-means-williamses-will-be-available-all-year/ ...11-page written opinion from Judge Gary Larson regarding his decision to extend a temporary injunction that prevents the implementation of four-game suspensions against Vikings defensive tackles Pat andKevin Williams until their appeal is resolved. Our first impression? It's highly unlikely that the Williamses will be suspended at any point in the 2010 season. In response to the argument by the league that it would be harmed by an injunction, Judge Larson disagreed. "[The NFL] could have easily avoided this very situation by informing players or teams about what it already knew -- that Star Caps contained a hidden, dangerous substance," Larson explained. "[The NFL] knew that many players were already inadvertently ingesting Bumetanide, and continued to place the health, safety, and welfare of its players in jeopardy, so that Adolpho Birch could play a game of gotcha. The league clearly allowed a half dozen other players to use Bumetanide without punishment." Based on Larson's statements, there's a chance that the suspensions ultimately will be scuttled. Until the appeals are resolved, Pat and Kevin Williams -- and Saints defensive end Will Smith -- will be permitted to keep playing. Guess there goes that.
