The lack of common sense in this case really get my blood boiling.

I really hate the NCAA more than anything because of shite like this. They make a huge fricking deal over trivial shite like this and ignore blatant stuff right in their face.

so he took some steroid shots in high school and it was trapped in his fat for years?

I really wish colleges would break away from NCAA. I think if a few big name schools do it everyone else will follow

Damn the NCAA is such bullshite. Im no GA fan but watching me makes this sick. I mean when does the NCAA start to use common sense. It just doesn't make any sense. Let the kid damn near kill himself to get eligible Mark Emmert why don't you. Someone needs to sue there arse.

This^^^
A school like Alabama, with a leader like Saban, may have the name recognition and history to attract other big time schools.

If Kolton does not get to play in the last 2 years left of his eligibility; he will sue. With the wealth of information on his side, he would win.

Yes. Proven by the fact that - after multiple rejections by the NCAA in the face of surmounting evidence that he wasn't using - Houston had 3 fatty masses in the arm where the injections occurred in high school removed, drastically reducing the steroid levels (but still not at the ultra-low level the NCAA requires).
He is not benefiting in any way from the injections, he is simply being red-flagged on a technicality. It is total horseshite and the NCAA knows it. There isn't a single person who has/can look at this case and say Houston deserves to sit out.

We are having to take the kid and parents word that this is what happend when he was in high school. Where is the statement of the dr. who did this or more importantly where is the malpractice lawsuit? His story may be true but is also just as possible that he intentionally did a lot of steroids in high school and it won't get out of his system.

According to the story the shots were given in the fat and should have been in muscle, not saying it was the doctors fault but damn NCAA use a little common sense.

The Houston’s should start by suing the doctor who administered this drug in High School. One, because he was a kid by legal definition and the fact he injected the drug incorrectly. That’s compelling enough to win a lawsuit.
As Schlabach said, they should march into the NCAA office and sue them. The evidence is overwhelming in the Kolton Houston story, but when you have a bunch of paper pushers in Indy flexing their muscle it becomes an issue of right and wrong. The NCAA is almost always wrong, but there is nothing that can be done to fight it. It’s a dictatorship.

I don't know all the sciences of steroids and its ability to remain stored in fat, but if that is true I feel bad for the kid. It at least would cause enough questions to allow for other testing and research. When does the NCAA really show they are there for the benefit of the student athlete?

They showed x-rays and a doctor's report of the shoulder injury.
Still, the point remains that he has sat out for 3 years, now, and he isn't re-using. Let the kid play.

That’s a fair question. But I think when the UGA AD of Sport Medicine, who is well respected by all accounts, puts his reputation and career on the line it speaks volumes. I may be bias, but the University entire Athletic Department has used up so many resources to get him cleared. Not to mention, UGA is known for it’s strict drug enforcement.

I'm not familiar with the story but it sounds like he just glazes over the mistake of getting the shot in the first place. What's the deal with that?
But yeah, if he's clean he should be allowed to play.
