Denver Broncos' running back Travis Henry has won his appeal concerning his 1-year suspension due to a failed drug test and WILL NOT be suspended by the NFL, ESPN's John Clayton reports. After being notified by the League of his failed drug test for marijuana in September, Henry armed himself with lawyer Harvey Steinberg and challenged that the League was in violation of their own drug testing procedures for failing to allow an expert of Henry's choosing to be present for testing. Steinberg told the Associated Press that he was not suprised one bit by the League's decision to not suspend Henry.
"I'm thrilled," Steinberg said. "I always thought we should prevail. I knew that if we got a fair shake, based on the evidence, we'd win. Travis knows and he's absolutely thrilled and relieved and very happy."
Henry won the support of the Denver Broncos and Head Coach Mike Shannahan after submitting himself to hair sample testing and a lie detector test shortly after the NFL announced his potential 1-year ban. Being a previous offender of the NFL's substance abuse program, Henry will continue to remain in the League's substance abuse counseling program and continue to abide by the NFL's "zero tolerance" policies.
Henry has missed the past 4 games due to a knee injury. He has posted 643 yards and 3 touchdowns for the season.
