Why would the hospital test for coke?

Seriously? You don't think they are gonna check what's in his system before pumping him full of pain medications? I would imagine that cocaine shows up on a simple blood toxicology report.
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.

Butch doesn't need the force of legal evidence behind him to kick a player off his team.
EDIT: For people talking about how the hospital can't release medical records without consent, you're entirely right. But the odds are extremely good that there would be no need to release them because it is highly probable that a coach or other team employee was in the room with him during all interactions with the doctors.

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

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.

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.
