On what grounds does he even have the ability to appeal this? Fill me in here, what's his case?
Well by him retiring, I believe that counted as his 4th failed drug test.
His 3rd failed drug test he was planning on appealing because he tested the lowest possible you could but still fait.
Another words, he just barely failed. Or simply put lets say it's an exam where anything below a 75 is failing. Ricky scored a 74.5.
He will appeal saying that since he was so close to passing that he really should be penalized.
So that would wipe his 3rd and 4th failed drug test off the book making his next failed one only a 4 gamer not a full year suspension.
Had he done this last year without retiring, he most likely would have won the appeal. Atleast Mortensen was claiming he would have.
Since everything has gone down the way it did, he probably has no chance of winning the appeal now. But it doesn't hurt to try.
