I meant to make a thread on this a long time ago but I will leave it here.
So about Grier getting busted and the secret nature of it.....
FWIW (and that's not much) here is what I know. Grier got popped for taking Ligandrol. Its a SARM. Basically its what guys do to experiment before they start taking steroids. Their not as effective as roids but way better than supplements. As far as I know only 3 authorities ban them. WADA, NCAA, and the DOD. The DOD didn't start until about 2014 or 2015 from what I remember. These things have been around for 20 years but they are still relatively new in the fitness world.
So why is all that, that I just typed important?
Its well known that the S&C conditioning staff under McElwain sucked. Players have said that the staff was absentee and amateurish. Most of their workouts were on the damn honor system.
This leads to the Grier debacle. He was taking ligandrol under the advice from those outside the program. Many players have stepped forward and said they did their own thing outside the program. I don't think he trusted that the staff would be there for him or that they even knew what they were doing.
So the coaching staff didn't want the public to know about how incompetent their strength and conditioning program was. So they just kept denying what Grier got popped for. They started the cocaine rumor to make Grier the bad guy.
Look back at that press conference and how awkward it was when McElwain was standing next to Grier. It's almost as if he was gonna step in and take the microphone if Grier was gonna announce what he took.
Like I said. Take all this shite FWIW. This is what I have read from some people within the NCAA and UF interns on some other message boards. Some of those boards aren't even UF related.
TL;DR Grier's fault but because of an incompetent strength and conditioning program.

Honestly, they cut cocaine with PEDs so I eouldn't doubt he was on it. I also wouldn't doubt that he was going elsewhere for S&C.
Are we allowed to imagine that Cam Newton never got in trouble, Dan Mullen stayed until he was promoted to HC and we never missed a step from 2010 onward? :(
