One of three players to fail a drug test. TE Braden Galloway and OL Zach Giella are also out after failing drug tests.
Huge loss for Clemson.
From Larry Williams at Tiger Illustrated:
"Letter from NCAA said they had a "slither," a "trace" of some substance called Ostarine. Said he's become an expert on it in the last three days. Said there's a likelihood that if they tested all humans right now, something could show up.
Said they are in appeals process. Doing everything they can to confirm it is in their system. All three players will have legal representation.
Said the three players all thought it was a joke when he called them. Said they have no clue how it got in their system. Said it could come from hair products, cream, protein, a product you buy online and you think nothing is wrong with it. Could be something in a drink, as he's come to learn. Said 40 or so athletes over the last year or so have had to deal with same thing, and several were vindicated.
Next step is a B sample. Won't know until Wednesday or Thursday on that. Then there's an appeal on that, but that doesn't help for this game.
Hopes the B sample comes back in time and they can play.
"Three great young men that I believe in and that I know without a doubt have not intentionally done anything to jeopardize their opportunity or this team."
