Dallas star Elliott鈥檚 6-game ban upheld by arbitrator
Print Edition
Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott was ordered to serve the entirety of his six-game suspension for domestic violence on Tuesday after an independent arbitrator rejected his appeal, the National Football League reported on its website.
Elliott is at the center of an acrimonious battle with the NFL over his ban, with the players union last week petitioning a federal court to fight the running back鈥檚 case. It came after an appeal hearing against the August 11 sanction issued by NFL commissioner Roger Goodell following a probe which alleged the player assaulted former girlfriend Tiffany Thompson in 2016. Last week鈥檚 appeal hearing revealed that the NFL鈥檚 lead investigator in the case had written a memo raising questions about Thompson鈥檚 credibility and recommended no sanction be issued against Elliott. US media reported on Tuesday that arbitrator Harold Henderson, who heard the appeal, had sided with the league, which had found Elliott in breach of the NFL鈥檚 personal conduct policy. Due to the timing of the case, Elliott will be free to play in Sunday鈥檚 season-opener against the Cowboys鈥 NFC East rivals the New York Giants. The court petition filed by the NFL Players Association last week will be decided upon later this week. If the judge in the case rules the suspension should be postponed, Elliott, 22, will be free to play until the case is revolved.
