A man who applied to join the police but was rejected because he did not have enough hair for a drugs test has successfully appealed against the decision.
It is understood he was at an advanced stage of the Police Service of Northern Ireland's recruitment process when problems arose over the testing.
Because of his baldness, he could not give them hairs of up to 3cm in length.
He was also unable to provide about 200 body hairs as an alternative

Old news in the PSNI Recruitment forum, but it's the thought that counts, so thanks.
