Broncos running back Travis Henry has won his appeal of a positive drug test, meaning he will not receive a one-year suspension under the NFL's substance-abuse policy, the team said on its web site.

“We are pleased with this outcome and happy that Travis has been absolved of any wrongdoing with respect to this matter," said the Broncos in a prepared statement. “The Broncos look forward to Travis Henry’s continued participation on the playing field.”

Broncos coach Mike Shanahan has said he believed Henry’s positive drug test was an error, and that Henry passed hair and lie-detector tests.

“If I thought the tests were positive, Travis would not be on our football team right now,” Shanahan said last month, according to the team's web site. “When he went back and took the hair sample — that’s negative — and the lie detector test — that’s negative — we’ll let due process take care of itself. But if Travis took a test and we knew it was positive, after what he promised me, he wouldn’t be with our football team. I didn’t share that with you because I couldn’t share it with you, obviously."

The NFL has not released any details about its reason for siding with Henry on his appeal, but this will no doubt give hope to every play who fails a drug test.

Interesting. So the NFL policy has been found to be flawed, at least in this case. So what does this mean for the future of drug testing in the league?

I agree with that. Or just do the hair test. I think that is more foolproof. And it goes back further. Some drugs stay in your system for just a short time, but I think the hair test will show any drugs done while that hair was growing??

Anyone know if that is true??
