re: VolTiger -Kristian Fulton

Exactly. His urine was tested and passed for PEH. Technically he wasn’t even tested for Mary Jane if I remember correctly I am guessing and Vol probably knows more so correct me if I’m wrong but there’s supposedly a gray area which makes a case for Fulton. I am thinking if his urine was properly taken and sent off probably with nurse watching and he passed the PED’s then he should have never been suspended for 2 years. So if the sample that passed was was done properly then technically it wasn’t tampered with. Just a guess though obviously

The NCAA is vulnerable to litigation.
Look at the Cam Newton and Johnny Manziel situations for example. As soon as the lawyers came at the NCAA they folded.
Then there’s antitrust and the inequities of making money off of athletes that don’t share in the profits but generate multi millions while risking serious injury.
Not to mention the growing awareness of brain damage and concussions from playing.
They’re exposed imo to liability. A real paper tiger.
Fulton should be eligible and I have a feeling he will.

Getting Fulton back game 1 would be huge!

If Aranda knows he is eligible to start fall camp it will likely influence what he teaches/implements in fall camp too.

But I don't think he cheated. From what I have read he chickened out and then admitted to what he intended to do but he did not do.

That’s great to hear. Kid has paid the appropriate price.

He absolutely has served his time. Taking two years away from a kid is ridiculous. Far greater crimes within the NCAA jurisdiction serve less than two years.

I’m glad I’m not the only one who despises this word. I want to vomit every time I see or hear it....which is all day every day.

So do you literally want to vomit when you see it?

My understanding is the rule we are arguing is that the moment the tester saw that happen, it should have been deemed a failed test and he not allowed to submit a sample. Therefore a failed test = 1 year. Since he never actually handed over an altered sample, the first rule should apply, and not the altered sample 2 year ban. Should be a 1 year failed test penalty, if which he has already served

Logically, that's a weak argument.

A better argument logically is that there is a tampered test (1 year) and either an associated failed test or failure to produce a non tampered sample (1 year). The latter actually didn't happen.

It doesn't matter. The only thing that matters is that we get Fulton. If it's a bogus argument and we still get him back, I'm ecstatic.

He saw action in 3 games in 2016 iirc

Kinda what I was getting at. Probably didn’t articulate it as well as u did
