ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) Randy Gregory is suing the NFL and the Broncos claiming discrimination over being fined $532,500 for taking medication containing THC for disabilities during his brief time in Denver.In the complaint filed this week in Arapahoe County District Court, the 31-year Anthony Rendon Jersey -old pa s rusher who now plays for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers said he was prescribed Dronabinol for social anxiety and post-traumatic stre s disorders but was denied accommodations to treat those disabilities with that medicine.The NFL and the Broncos both declined to comment on Gregory's lawsuit when reached by The Erick Fedde Jersey A sociated Pre s on Friday.The NFL no longer suspends players who test positive for THC, or tetrahydrocannabinol, the chemical responsible for most of marijuanas psychological effects, but it remains among the league's banned substances subject to fines.ADVERTISEMENT The Broncos are named in the lawsuit although teams don't have any role in the fining of players who violate the league's drug policies. The NFL-NFLPA substances of abuse policy is collectively bargained and administered by a jointly appointed third-party medical profe sional. The Kurt Suzuki Jersey complaint said Gregory was diagnosed with social anxiety disorder in 2021 and with post-traumatic stre s disorder in February 2023. The Broncos and the NFL denied Gregory's request in March 2023 to use Dronabinol during non-work hours, according to the complaint. Two months later, his agent, Peter Schaffer, requested a therapeutic use exemption for Gregory, which also was denied.Gregory has been fined $532,500 for repeated positive THC tests since March 2023, according Jayson Werth Jersey to the complaint. The lawsuit contends the league's and club's resistance to providing Gregory accommodations due to his disabilities is discriminatory under Colorado law.Gregory was a second-round draft pick of the Cowboys in 2015. He played five seasons with Dallas, where he was suspended numerous times for violating the NFL's drug policies. He signed with Denver in 2022 but mi sed most of that season with a knee injury. He split the 2023 season between the Broncos and San Francisco 49ers, who acquired him in a trade last October.Gregory, who has collected 22 career sacks and appeared in 72 games over seven NFL seasons, signed a one-year deal with the Buccaneers this spring.
