The NFL announced Friday that Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson's appeal of a league suspension for a violation of the NFL's personal conduct policy has been denied. Per ESPN:
quote:ESPN also reports that Peterson is expected to appeal the arbitrator's decision in federal court.
Peterson's appeal was heard by former NFL executive Harold Henderson last week in Washington, D.C. Henderson was appointed by commissioner Roger Goodell as arbitrator to hear the sides' cases and issue a ruling.
In upholding the NFL's initial ruling, Henderson concluded that Peterson "has not demonstrated that the process and procedures surrounding his discipline were not fair and consistent." Wrote Henderson: "He was afforded all the protections and rights to which he is entitled, and I find no basis to vacate or reduce the discipline."
