quote:
Alabama allows the athletic director, head coach and its Sports Medicine Committee to determine what, if any, penalty is warranted after a first positive test. The second means the athlete will be sidelined for 15 percent of the season and/or a suspension of up to 30 days, and the third a one-year ban from games.

and they only test when the ncaa forces them to, and only for the drugs required, nothing more. we actually have the policy but we test for essentially everything (and i really wish we'd stop).

The only rule is you have to follow your own policy. So whatever Bamas policy states there, they must follow it. It looks like they get discretion on the first test, which is the same at LSU

well, they don't. this is Auburns policy:

First failed test- None
Second failed test- 50 percent of games (six games)
Third failed test- dismissal.

the highly respected reporters at bleacher report graded this policy as a B+

only problem is Auburns 2010 title team had between 12 and 24 players repeatedly fail tests for spice (synthetic weed), and they simply never reported any of them, including:

"In the most extreme case, freshman tight end Dakota Mosley, tested positive for the drug seven weeks in a row but was never punished."

this is why the NCAA stripped their title. oh wait, no, sorry, i meant to say, "and yet the NCAA didn't do a fricking thing."
