A federal appeals court has backed the NFL over the performance-enhancing drug suspension of Denver Broncos linebacker D.J. Williams.
In an unsigned ruling, a three-judge panel of the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals upheld Williams' six-game ban, saying that it is not the court's place to intervene in this kind of employment dispute.
"[A] court's role in these types of arbitration cases is simply to determine whether the arbitrator strayed from the collective-bargaining agreement," the judges wrote.
