Just like any other organization, the NCAA has rules that its members must follow. If you want to be part of the organization, the burden is on you to follow the rules. The NCAA has a list of things that are banned, some of which can be taken legally, and some of which can't. It is pretty simple. If you take a substance that is on the list, then you can't participate in the organization.

Why does the NCAA ban "illegal" substances?? Oh, I dunno. Maybe they don't want illegal activity in their organization? Just a guess.

NCAA only test for PEDs. The universities test for other drugs to ensure youre acting right.

Some might say there is a safety issue involved. Pretty sure it's scientifically accepted that drunk/high people have slower reaction times and their inhibitions are lowered making them dangerous risk takers and more likely to get injured.

Using presception drugs that aren't prescribed to you or other narcotics, unless you're in California or Washington, is illegal in this country, genius.

Is it too much to ask someone who is getting a scholarship to play football to keep clean? Rhetorical question, of course. Apparently it is for some people, who are then also too stupid not to use their own piss for a piss test.

I never realized Kristian Fulton was the next Deion Sanders, but amazingly, LSU will play its 2018 schedule whether he's on the field or not and the world will survive.
