May 23, 200917 yr Too bad. Seems like a good kid. Represented himself well and the university well. Best wishes to him.
May 23, 200917 yr Apparently, it wasn't steriods, but a dietary supplement recommended by a guy at a health food store. He also purchased a shake not given by the university. All of this to lose weight.
May 23, 200917 yr Sounds like it was a dietary pill? And possibly a protein drink? Is that what I'm hearing?
May 23, 200917 yr Maybe I'm remarkably naive, but dietary pills and protein shakes are illegal?? Don't have to be illegal to be against NCAA rules. Could have been Hydroxycut.
May 23, 200917 yr Don't have to be illegal to be against NCAA rules. Could have been Hydroxycut. Yup, it could have been anything. I was friends with some volleyball players while in college and they wouldn't even drink energy drinks because there was something in them that could cause a positive drug test.

May 23, 200917 yr By illegal, I was referring to the NCAA. I guess I would never have thought of protein shakes not being allowed. Most are. It just depends on all of their ingredients.
May 23, 200917 yr By illegal, I was referring to the NCAA. I guess I would never have thought of protein shakes not being allowed. I'm not sure that it was the shake as much as the dietary supplement. And it was probably something in the pill that caused the failed test.
May 23, 200917 yr My respect for this young man has grown over the last 5 miniutes. Clemens, Bonds, etc could learn something from him.
