Broncos running back Travis Henry won the appeal of his positive marijuana test yesterday, meaning he will not be suspended for a year for violating the NFL's substance-abuse policy.

But while Broncos coach Mike Shanahan said he supported Henry because the he had provided the team with hair and polygraph tests, the league wants to make sure everyone knows that winning his appeal has nothing to do with those tests. The Denver Post reports that the NFL released this statement:

"Travis Henry will remain in the substance-abuse program, must continue to adhere to all aspects of it, but will not be suspended following his appeal. The defense of hair samples and lie detector tests was irrelevant and unconvincing, but our substance-abuse program is based on meeting the highest standards and respecting player rights in all phases of its administration."
