Nobody with a name like Dre would smoke weed.

TM7 failed multiple, consecutive, drug tests. The belief among some in the conference is that he failed more drug tests than he passed.

He's in drug rehab. It would follow that he was dismissed for multiple positive drug tests. Since the LSU policy is for a year suspension from competition, and not dismissal from the team, it would appear that there were more than three.

those are obvious assumptions but dont you think that its an obvious assumption to make that dre smoked weed through out college since he was busted for possession a week after the season?

No, he was dismissed from the team, not suspended.
If he was suspended he could stay on scholarship, just not compete. They said he would have to pay his own way if he wanted to stay enrolled at LSU.

You may assume what you want, but there's no proof. Ask Robby Green if Alabama will suspend starting players for failing drug tests.

We know for a fact that Mathieu was dismissed from the team, and that he is currently in rehab, it's a safe bet that those things are related.

no proof on tm7 getting kicked off for failing a drug test either....your logic is off so you ASSUME what you want

player gets arrested with weed, safe bet to say he didnt up and start smoking in january

Bama has several key walk-ons who's only job is to provide clean urine for star players.

It's part of our drug program.

Stupid topic. Every team has players that smoke. It's not a matter of how lenient the disciplinary actions are, it's a matter of the players knowing not to be idiots.

I would imagine the players are made aware of upcoming tests and take the necessary precautions to pass them.

Not all players do this, for one reason or another, they just don't, hence the suspensions.

Do you really want to argue that Mathieu wasn't suspended for failing drug tests? Really?

Charges were dropped. Was Honey Badger's dismissal from the team dropped?

Not all assumptions are equal. Assuming that a player who checks into drug rehab has been smoking pot is not the same as assuming that someone who was in a car with pot has been smoking pot.

On the contrary. Rogers confessed that he had the weed on him. He is the one the officers found the weed on. Also, even if your assertion that Bama's policy is "lacking" or it all stays "in-house", the same does not apply to the NFL drug testing policy of which Dre was subjected to AFTER the arrest. If your claim that Dre gets high is true, then he would have been popped by the league's testing program.

Get a grip, dude.
