PED's, bet you didn't know...

Per WSJ, "Antidoping advocates have long criticized the inconsistent and opaque nature of drug testing in college sports.
The NCAA’s Drug Problem
It’s a school-by-school patchwork of policies and penalties: A first-time steroid infraction would bench a Florida player for half the season but cost a Texas A&M player only a single game. Private schools such as Vanderbilt, meanwhile, aren’t required to share their drug-testing policies with anyone, not even the NCAA.... "
So yea, those Bama players probably got popped too. There's no rule saying you MUST give the reason(s) for suspension.

... of college sports with absolutely no evidence that their players demonstrated any “enhancement” of their performance.
PEDs indeed ... !

Also, Notre Dame PED's, bet you didn't know...

Per Forbes article, "Notre Dame’s student-athlete handbook says a player who fails a test can return to the field once the steroids are out of his system."
So do the math on how long their RB1 was suspended earlier this year for very vague reasons as well as an uncertain return date. Hum, color me skeptical...
So, yea, he was probably popped too but they, also, didn't reveal the specifics.

The co-owner of a controversial sports supplements company publicly claimed that more than 20 University of Alabama football players on the 09 and 11 national championship teams used his company’s product (deer antler extract) which contains a substance that is banned by the NCAA.

You know, I never thought about it that way. But if you really think about it, they not only have all those other SEC schools and fans that are depending on their performance, they also have ESPN putting pressure on them to perform. That’s like a zillion people expecting them to win every single game by 100 points. Plus they have a little person yelling at them all the time. I say “little person” because they say using the word midget is disrespectful. Those poor kids. I might personally ride down there and hand deliver a few protein bars to help take a little pressure off.
