Did you even bother reading the post?

I read the whole post, officially LSU cannot comment officially on suspensions for drug related offenses because of HIPAA.

Again refer to my previous post there is a difference between on and off the record confirmations.

Can media get things wrong sure they can. Do they at times report things from sources that turn out to be bad absolutely.

But off the record sourcing is a staple of media reporting and has been since Watergate.

There is a difference between me saying I know the dude who cuts JJ's hair and he told me that 3 players are suspended for positive drug test and running to the board an posting it

AND

A reporter who talked to a player or someone in the football program who tells them the issue but refuses to let the reporter use his name.

That is not rumor. It is a legitimate report sourced from someone in the football program with knowledge of the situation.

You are way off base.
