I am not arguing he is not guilty of having it in his system. I am saying based on past history of no PED use despite being tested over the past several years in the playoff and by Clemson, it is plausible that it was exposure via contamination and not as part of some grand steroid scheme. Exposure via contamination has happened recently with a triathlete.
This isn't the best example to use. 1) It was never proven that salt tablets were the source of the banned aubstance. That was just a theory floated by the athlete. 2) The athlete still accepted a 6 month ban from sport for failing the test.
Given what I posted above about how one can beat dope testing by microdosing and timing, it doesn't look good for Clemson.

After 5 half lives, a drug is considered eliminated from the body. Having such a small amount in their system would tell me they either were exposed to a small amount recently or a larger amount much further back. The common denominator between the 3 players, is that they all are recovering from injury over the past year. Regardless, it was in their system, rules are rules.
quote:
By definition, the plasma concentration of a drug is halved after one elimination half-life. Therefore, in each succeeding half-life, less drug is eliminated. After one half-life the amount of drug remaining in the body is 50% after two half-lives 25%, etc. After 4 half-lives the amount of drug (6.25%) is considered to be negligible regarding its therapeutic effects.
