We aren't talking about legal proceedings. Only normal lab controls for handling and testing blood are relevant.

I'd like to hear details. Seems like a pretty stand-up guy. If indeed drugs, couldn't have been his first or even 2nd failed test.

Why do you need details, he has an issue with drugs, the team had to let him go, he accepts responsibly. What else do you need to know? Kind of creepy if you ask me.

But the coaching staff has no legal right to his blood work results from tje hospital. At least it seems like they wouldn't.

It's like his 5th
We had no choice but to dismiss him, and throw his belongings in the trash

Could also be a random that only now came back.
That's the only thing that makes sense to me. It's too soon with UT just going home Sunday for a drug test from the hospital to be completed and he's dismissed on Monday.

He wouldn't have been drug tested in the hospital.

They wouldn't test for drugs in a football-related injury. Regardless, an ER drug screen is inadmissible as evidence since there is no chain-of-custody. If it was drugs, it was a completely unrelated University or NCAA test.
You act like colleges have to abide by the same rules (let alone evidentiary rules) as the State in a criminal proceeding.
They don't.

I'm just going to leave it at this: a qualitative drug screen is not the "drug test" athletes submit to, so speculation based off of a possible drug screen he may or may not have had in the ER is dumb.

Nonsense.
DUI cases are made all the time off of ER drug tests.
Alabama has a law that says if a mom has a baby and it tests positive for drugs or a pregnant mom tests positive for drugs, mom is going to jail. The evidence in those cases comes from hospital drug screens.

Why would a hospital, taking blood, check for recreational drugs? That is something specific that they would have to be looking for.

Well the rumor is this was caught in a drug test he took sometime last week
