How does cushing get another bite at the apple on this one?

If he and the league went through a thorough appeal process, how does he get, in essence, a second appeal?

maybe b/c its bob mcnair, maybe they made a case that new evidence exists that presents grounds not considered during the lengthy appeal process?

SS any word on how cushing gets to re-visit this issue after his appeal was denied?

I haven't paid any attention to this story at all, until I saw his latest "reason" so I really have no idea. It's pretty comical

Hey guys, cut him some slack -- he's an over-training, hermaphrodite with pituitary problems and chest tumors that look like boobs. Totally not his fault.

What a loser. Does he really think ANYONE believes him. What a stupid excuse -- at least come up with something believable.

[mooby]

He has a "unique" medical condition that he can't explain or go in-depth about. Why can't we all just understand that? Barry Bonds, Roger Clemens, etc. all have this same "unique" condition, so why is it that hard to believe?

This is a really embarrassing situation for Cushing and McNair regardless of where the truth lies.
By deliberately bringing it to the headlines over and over in a supposed attempt to reverse the suspension and clear their name has got to be really humiliating.
This really makes them look stupid and they know that. Makes me wonder if there might any truth to Cushing believing he did not deliberately take any banned substance? Otherwise he would accept the suspension and move on. They have spent a ton of money on doctors, specialist and tests.
I tend to believe the test results and not the player.
Time will tell.

Cushing is a joke. Take your 4 game suspension like a man. Instead you now have the owner going to bat for you. I really don't care about these guys doing steriods but they all know the rules.
