December 18, 200817 yr http://sports.espn.go.com/ncb/news/story?id=3777010 NDIANAPOLIS -- Former Indiana standout Eric Gordon believes drug use caused a rift on last season's Hoosiers, according to a story posted on The Indianapolis Star's Web site Wednesday night. Gordon declined to identify which players allegedly used drugs, but said D.J. White and two others still on the team were among those who did not. "It was the guys that were doing drugs that were separate," Gordon told the newspaper. Gordon, who left after his freshman season and now starts for the Los Angeles Clippers, said some players' drug use led to friction on the team. Gordon said he spent time with a family friend in Bloomington because of the atmosphere surrounding some players. Then-coach Kelvin Sampson tried to stop the drug use, Gordon said, but Sampson "was just so focused on basketball and winning and everything."
December 18, 200817 yr The only thing missing from the Sampson era is point shaving, maybe that will come out next. :lol:
December 18, 200817 yr Jeeze, rediculaous of Gordan. I'm glad to know that he and his four buddies were the only one's COMPLETELY clean :sleep:
December 18, 200817 yr Sampson was aware of it and didn't clean it up :lol: I wonder if Crawford was involved?
December 18, 200817 yr This is no shock. It was well known Bassett, Crawford, Ellis and a few others liked to smoke...

December 18, 200817 yr Im no IU fan at all, but you know this for a fact? Not for a fact, but it was talked about a LOT as IU was crumbling...
December 18, 200817 yr Im no IU fan at all, but you know this for a fact? Yeah I don't know why GT would want to go drop names for on a message board. Anyways, the good news for IU is its a completely different team and they are starting from scratch. Its not like there is players on the team now in the same group of those who were probably using drugs a lot.
