Looks like the 8th Circuit has ruled that Pat and Kevin Williams can continue with their lawsuit because of specific Minnesota drug testing laws but such laws would not apply in the cases of Deuce McAllister, Will Smith, and Charles Grant. Those three players could appeal to the Supreme Court but given their previous public comments on the matter they would appear disinclined to do so.
Meanwhile, it's difficult to say whether or not the league will enforce their suspensions before the Williams' case is resolved especially since all of this is happening during the run-up to CBA negotiations. Stay tuned.
