Sounds like a bad supplement or something. Hate it for those guys.

Sonny Webster (UK Olympic weightlifter) tested positive for Ostarine a few years ago. He had all his supps tested multiple times and all came back negative. It’s a strange substance to test for.

Well you have Dabo saying this...

"This particular substance can come from anything," Swinney said. "And these three players have no clue -- in fact, they thought it was a joke when I called them. They have no clue how this has gotten in their system. It could come from hair products. It could come from a cream. It could come from protein. It could come from a product that you order or buy online that you think there's nothing wrong with it. It could be anything. Literally, it could be a drink -- something in a drink."



Then you have this on the Anti-doping agency website...

Do everyday products contain ostarine?
There are in fact products that contain ostarine, but only illegal ones. Given that ostarine is not approved for human use or consumption in the U.S., or in any other country, there are no legal medications that contain ostarine.

It’s also important to note that ostarine is not a permitted ingredient in dietary supplements. However, you should be aware that some dietary supplement manufacturers illegally put SARMs like ostarine in their products and sell them as “legal steroids” or “research only” chemicals.

You should know what you are putting in your body. Every one of these teams have people who can help you with this. It’s either a easily preventable mistake or intentional PE use. I have no problem with pros doing it. I do with college atheletes.

I agree on all fronts. You really can't chance it with supplements because it is the wild west. All these companies that make them get protected by "Proprietary Blends" and won't list it on the product.

There is absolutely zero excuse for a player ingesting a substance that is banned. With one simple phone call, a player can contact any number of people who could tell them about something that is banned.

I find it hard to believe that college players would take anything not given to them by the training staff. You know they get told that over and over.

They doubled down this morning on the story that they've got no clue what caused the positive result. Really strange.

These guys don't turn into massive beings so quick by eating peanut butter everyday. Walk into a GNC and see what they're selling. These guys get to be so big because of all the supplements they use.

DALLAS
The final ruling on the three Clemson players facing a suspension for the Cotton Bowl came down on Thursday, and it is bad news for the Tigers.
Clemson defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence, tight end Braden Galloway and offensive lineman Zach Giella will miss the matchup against Notre Dame after failing drug tests.
All three players had a trace of ostarine found in their systems. Clemson was notified last Thursday that the players had failed a drug test. Their “B” samples were examined after the “A” sample was found to have ostarine in it, and the NCAA informed Clemson of the results of the “B” samples on Thursday. It was the same as the “A” samples and all three players are suspended for the College Football Playoff semifinal.

Of course. But we don’t know if they’re being truthful.

Of course. But it's hard to believe they're be so brazen in speaking publicly about it. Latest thing I've heard it's they're looking into whether it could be related to the salt used in a rehab pool.

Wouldn't more than 3 players show positive then?

If they are claiming it could be from "anything" and all of the players are virtually in the same environment why aren't the other 82 players on scholarship affected? So none of the other players use hair gel? Are these the only 3 players using the rehab pool?

If I were one of the three I would consider litigation against Clemson for exposing me to a harmful substance that is limiting my potential and possibly affecting my long term health.
