Ah, yes, the good old F$U "one question investigation" ("did you do it?").

“I don’t know where it came from,” he said. “I don’t know how it got there.” Sure. Whatever. Ostarine just got into 3 players urine...by magic...

“I don’t know where it came from,” he said. “I don’t know how it got there.”

What did the rest of the 15% that tested positive say?
 
This unfortunately happens at every school. My nephew is a walk-on for a prominent Big 10 basketball program. As one of the few players who does not smoke weed, he is always "randomly" tested when the team is required to do "random" drug testing. In fact, it's a poorly kept joke on his team. He also has very good grades, which helps the team's overall GPA.
I suspect even UM knows who to "randomly" test and who not to test. The difference, however, is when the NCAA chooses who to test. For example, a few years back, the NCAA chose to test Michigan basketball player Mitch McGary, who was injured and not planning to play in the NCAA Tournament. But because it was the NCAA tourney, the NCAA chose who to test, and not Michigan. And lo and behold, McGary tested positive. The test of the Clemson players was conducted not by Clemson but by the NCAA. Which is why a player like Lawrence was caught. That would never have happened during the regular season when the school decides who will be "randomly" tested.

So the Moral of your story is a team during the season should only randomly test players they are sure are not on anything or players they may want an excuse to get rid of anyway. If they think they have a chance to make the play offs they should touchscreen warnings to the whole team in early Nov to get off anything they may be on.
 
The players I knew when I was in school said they knew when drug tests were coming, so the staff could make sure the team was well prepared.

As many people said on the reddit post for this, no school is going to voluntarily test all of their athletes, nor should they.
Imagine this whole article with it replaced as Miami and try to imagine people's responses on this board to that article lol.

I mean that's a whole 'nother argument lol. We know the bias is real in some places. I'm just trying to say that I don't understand why people are mad about this. Almost EVERY school does this, and for any fan of a P5 team to assume that at least some players on their team aren't is naive. The whole "throwing stones in a glass house" saying applies here...
