Suspended suspensions held valid then suspended again

The Starcaps case advances. A Minnesota trial court has held that the NFL violated state law by failing to notify affected Vikings' players Kevin and Pat Williams of their test results within the required three day period. Nevertheless the court upheld the NFL's suspensions of the players, finding the notice violations had not harmed the players. This news report seems to have garbled some of the courts reasoning. It seems also the state court judge will suspend his ruling pending the players' appeal. Our previous post on the Eighth Circuit's opinion is here.
