The agent for suspended Bengals receiver Chris Henry denied a report that his client failed a court-ordered drug test.
"The final result is negative," Marvin Frazier told the Cincinnati Enquirer. "It's all [nonsense]." Frazier also told ESPN.com's John Clayton that the test was negative.
Kenton County (Kentucky) Attorney Garry Edmondson said Monday that Henry tested positive for opiates and he will be forced to serve 88 days in jail. However, Edmondson's office later backed off that statement and said it was awaiting the results of a second test.
Henry, who has been arrested four times since December 2005, has been suspended for the first eight games of next season for violating the NFL's conduct policies. He spent two days in jail last January after pleading guilty to letting minors drink alcohol in a hotel room he had rented.
Henry received traffic tickets on March 25 for driving with a suspended license, failing to use his turn signal and a seat belt violation. He was allowed to go into a license intervention program to settle the charges.
Henry is permitted to work out at the Bengals' facilities in the offseason and participate in training camp, including preseason games. He won't be allowed to practice with the team when the regular season begins. He will be reinstated after the eighth game if he stays out of trouble.
