What else are they planning to do?

Press releases? Op-eds in papers? Orgeron on some talk shows/ESPN? etc.

Documents detail the event on Feb. 2, 2017 at LSU’s Broussard Hall. The test administer, Jason Shoemake, noticed Fulton pouring the contents of a small bottle into the beaker the player was expected to fill with his own sample. When approached, Fulton poured the contents of the beaker into a urinal and began to fill the beaker with his own urine sample.

“I understand that my poor decision has a consequence, but because the urine was not actually used or submitted to the tester, I would like to appeal the decision of a two-year ban from competition,” Fulton wrote in the appeal.

ARE YOU frickING KIDDING ME

If this were the "darling" home school of the SEC, he would have already been cleared.

Better yet, he would have never been suspended if he was needed on the team.

The NCAA is such a joke when it comes to who they make an example of.
The whole drug testing system is a joke.
It needs to be standardized and handled at the conference offices and all schools should be subject to the same standards and testing.

Now, UGA, Bama, LSU can all do their own thing. It's ridiculous.

2 year ban is absurd for college

unless you physically hurt someone

they really need to chill out

given his history, I still think he's a fricking idiot for continuing to smoke weed.

yes the punishment is definitely way too severe, but you don't find yourself in this position if not for your own poor decisions. I'd hope they reduce it but the NCAA isn't exactly known as an organization that applies common sense in unique circumstances, they usually operate in black and white.

Good. Fulton is getting bent over backwards by the NC double assholes.

Does the language of the rule state that the test has to be submitted to be considered falsified? If not I don't see how he can get out of the punishment. He was caught in the act of falsifying the test after all.

I do hope I'm wrong though.

There is no language covering that. That's why there's an argument here, and room for the lawyers to work.

I don't feel any sympathy for Fulton here. An inexcusable lack of judgement took place here. In the end, the law is pretty cut & dry.

Chill the fuch out. An 18 year old cheated on a drug test.


Aaron Hernandez killed someone at Florida.
Tim Williams said he failed more drug test then he could count at Bama.
Cam Robinson stole a gun and got busted with drugs and arrested.
Dashawn Hand got a DUI.
Jeffery Simmons beat the shite out of a girl.
Joe Mixon knocked a woman out.
Jonathan Taylor beat a woman and got shots at Georgia and Bama.

He should be punished, I agree. But taking away half of a players eligibility for a falsified drug test is ridiculous.

Fulton smoked pot and tried to give a fake piss test. Saying that punishment is deserving for that crime is moronic.

Hell Mark Ingram just got a 1/4 season suspension for failing a test in the NFL.
