Hey Carolina Girl
Looks like you have your first loss of the season too. I guess all the fuss about the athletic department passing the substance, knowingly or unknowingly, to the players is out the window at this point.
According to representatives from the players, all of the over 27 supplements that they were given through the athletic department, tested negative.
According to Galloway’ and Giella’s lawyer, who released a written statement on Friday, players’ assertions were confirmed by a polygraph examination taken by each. Both student-athletes had negative test results for prohibited substances in multiple urine drug screens in April and October of 2018, just before their positive December 2018 test, and again in both January and February of 2019, just after the December positive test.
Their representative, Robert Ariail, points out in the players’ statement that Ostarine is a known contaminant of legitimate products. As part of the appeal, the student-athletes presented statements from scientific experts which confirmed that the very low levels detected in December 2018 were indicative of contamination of legitimate products.
A medical review committee of the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) recently recommended that in cases such as this, no positive findings be made. Similarly, the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) has, in recent months, lifted the previously imposed suspensions against five athletes who tested positive for trace levels of Ostarine.
The WADA report also noted that in many cases, the identification of the contaminated product is not possible. The students’ scientific expert stated that Ostarine can remain in one’s system for an indeterminate amount of time, making it even more difficult to pinpoint the source of contamination.
In the December 2018 instance, the student-athletes were unable to identify the source of contamination. As part of the appeal process, an independent lab tested 27 supplements and products, and none came back as contaminated.
The players also passed polygraph tests.
But back to your loss. I know your hope and dream was that this report would show that Clemson knowingly, or unknowingly, provided the substance, thereby making it seem that is was widespread. Sorry that today's report has disappointed you. I'm sure you would rather the players won the appeal and have it look like Clemson was dispensing the substance instead of Clemson losing a tight-end and a backup OL.
But look at the bright side, maybe you can stay within 21 points this year. 56-7, 34-10 and 56-35 can't be fun. And Dabo called off the dogs in Columbia on the last visit when we were up 34-0 at the end of the third quarter and won 34-10.
70-42-4 and high five baby!
