Georgia offensive lineman continues NCAA battle

Bummer. Documented medical reason holds no sway with the NCAA.

A lot of people won't believe this story and bash the kid. But I doubt that Richt would've kept him around for so many years if they weren't confident that he has not been taking the steroid. If that's really what happened, then I feel for this kid. I'm not a doc so I don't get how something stays in your system so long but that's what they say is going on.

This doesn't smell right. Detectable levels of anabolic steroids stay in your system for quite a while (I've heard maybe a year or longer), but having "an identical level" for such a long time kind've means he's not off the stuff.

the blurb says that the levels are the same. Wouldn't it start to diminish over the 2 years?

Either way, if it was a medical procedure, give the kid a break.

Supposedly they are very low levels and they haven't changed. But I am not an expert. I really doubt Richt would keepmtrying to get him cleared if he thought he was still using and lying about it. But none of us know for sure which is probably why the NCAA won't clear. 0 tolerance.

The interns must look for the most unflattering pictures of coaches to use. This one of Richt isn't too bad but the ones of Mack Brown with the dunlop belly and sour look have to be the winners.

Runnerup would be Nick Saban is his used car salesman power blue jacket.

He'd keep trying if the kid was a heckuva blocker.

I suppose it's possible the kid has either a liver or kidney dysfunction that could prevent/limit his body's ability to metabolize the steroid, and keep the levels relatively higher than the average person's who utilized a similar dosage.

Or he could be juicing more. Like you said, who knows.

Even if he knew he was juicing? Ok

I'll juice oranges for mimosas. I'll juice limes for margaritas. I'll even juice lemons for my cousin's lemon drops.

Old fashioned metal thing you hold over the container... Cut the fruit in half and twist the halves down on the metal thing using hands and elbow grease. Juice pools into the container below.

Why does he have an escort of 3 state troopers? Continual hot-seat stories aside, has he been threatened with abduction?
