Henry clean, according to state

Here is a news release that just came out from the Kentucky Division of Probation & Parole

Frankfort, Ky. – In recent days, there have been published and broadcast reports that Chris Henry failed a drug test. This information did not come from the state Division of Probation & Parole. Repeated referrals to our office by the Kenton County Attorney’s office were wrong. The Kenton County Attorney’s Office has no jurisdiction in our probation supervision of Henry. Our office did, however, receive results of a drug test conducted on Henry today, and those results were negative.

The state Division of Probation & Parole, through our District 7 office in Newport, provides probation supervision of Chris Henry for the Florida Division of Probation and Parole. This supervision is provided through what is called the interstate compact agreement and is in connection with Henry’s Florida conviction in 2006 for carrying a concealed firearm. Henry received a sentence of two years supervised probation and that probation, under the interstate agreement, was transferred to Boone County, Kentucky.

This team would have been better off if he was positive. We may not be able to release him due to his conduct off the field. The only hope is that the League will keep suspending him until he is banned.

What difference does this really make? The Bengals are several players away from competing for a championship. Chris Henrys suspension may cause them to drop to 7-9 from, uh 7-9.

So what time are Chris Mortenson and the other National journalists going to be on tv tonight to issue an apology and talk about irresponsible journalism? I'd like to see that happen, just once. I doubt this story gets more than a mention, in the middle 15 minutes, on any of the ESPN "news" shows tonight. Sad.

The Bengals had chances to release him. As Marvin says I see better than I hear. Therefore, the team obviously needs and wants him.

The only people who need to apologize to Henry is the Kenton County Attorney's office. It is ridiculous that this information was leaked before the full facts were in. Someone or multiple people in that office need to lose their jobs. I am sure not going to vote for Mr. Edmondson next time he runs, what a total joke!
