Seattle Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman won his appeal of his drug suspension and will play the remainder of the season.

RENTON, Wash. — Seattle Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman won his appeal of a four-game suspension for use of performance enhancing substances on Thursday, making him eligible for the NFL playoffs.

Sherman posted “I won,” on his Twitter account Thursday morning, followed by teammates tweeting their congratulations. Sherman added, “Thank you (at)nfl for upholding the truth! To the 12s Thank you your faith is rewarded! Thank you lord.”

The decision was made by former NFL executive Bob Wallace. More here.

"Sherman’s appeal was based on errors in the chain of custody of his sample and that there were mistakes made by the tester."

So. Did he or didn't he use Adderall?
