Why would they drug test a guy when he gets injured?
Is that routine?
I'm not sure about sports in college, but at a most work places, if you get injured, it's routine to drug test. Therefore, if you're positive drug tested, the company can say your injury was a result of your being under the influence and possibly not a result of workplace negligence, etc.
I suppose it is possible that a University, any University, could make the argument that your injury on the football field was a result of your being under the influence causing you to create your own bodily injury, etc.
Who knows what lawyers could do?

It just wasn't done in the hospital. Those aren't admissible. And even if the kid specifically asked for a urine drug screen, the results wouldn't be discussed in front of anyone other than the player. No coaches, no trainers. It's the law.
