    Hasn't the Euro done the best job on the two prior storms?

    Looks like Jonny Tychonick is using the Covid year at Omaha.

    Congrats to Bismarck for setting an all-time April snowfall record with 12 days yet remaining!
  4. The Sicatoka
    I thought the inbound storm (Apr 22-25 arrival) was going to be more of a NWS Bismarck problem than an NWS Grand Forks problem. < facepalm >

    Allow me to show you all how a recruit's hearing works: "If you continue to progress as you need to, on and off ice, your play, training and your school, you'll be here in two years."

    Somebody's got their story mixed up. https://www.collegehockeynews.com/news/2022/04/18_McKay-Suspended-6-Months-.php https://www.sportsnet.ca/hockey/article/hobey-baker-winner-dryden-mckay-discusses-suspension-for-banned-substance/ So which is it?

    Dryden McKay was so afraid of Covid, and admitting he knew to be careful of what he as an athlete consumes, he decided to take a non-NSF-approved, "Facebook Pharmacy" recommended, Quercetin supplement. Makes sense. Or not.

    Is alcohol a banned substance by USADA/WADA/NCAA? Unfortunately, alcohol is just a dumb substance to ingest.
  10. The Sicatoka
    Why is he taking non-NSF-approved stuff? To what end? He admits he knew better but yet ... And I'm wondering why the six months didn't start in Jan/Feb with the positive test. (Not Dryden's control; this skepticism is aimed at USOC/USADA/NCAA.)
  11. The Sicatoka
    Problem One summed up right ^^^ there. He admits he used a not-NSF-approved item. <-- Not smart. The team tells you not to do that.

    Need a @MafiaManruling here: The Top 20 Songs the CIA Used to Torture Inmates I think the CIA has some clean misses on that list: - no songs by The Carpenters or The Osmonds - "Baby Shark" - nothing by German band Rammstein

    The statement from Mankato Athletics: " ... able to quickly confirm with the NCAA ... " So the NCAA knew. And the NCAA rolled with the USADA temporarily lifted suspension. All of this was kept very well under wraps for a long time. What was USA Olympics' and USA Hockey's involvements I wonder. That'd be a terrible thing (for them) to come out during the Beijing Olympics. Now it just sucks for McKay, MSU-M, the NCAA, and the Hobey committee.

    The Vitamin D story is coming from McKay's tweet. It wasn't his Vitamin D bottle that was the problem. (Dare I say they're trying to conflate D with the real problem?) From the SportsNet article The problem was, non-NSF-approved, Quercetin with the banned substance in it. Like I said, if it had been a bad bottle of D, ouch. But he admits he was taking something not NSF approved (Quercetin).
  17. The Sicatoka
    So the problem isn't that he didn't listen to his coaches, trainers, and team, isn't that he didn't only take NSF approved supplements, isn't that he ended up with a banned substance at detectable levels in his system. No, the problem is ... he got caught?
  18. The Sicatoka
    I'll bust on any (Purple Cow, Drool Cow, UND) college athlete for not listening to what they're told Day 1: Don't take anything that isn't approved by the team first. (Our guys used to be told to run everything past Pooly.)
  19. The Sicatoka
    McKay admits in his explanation that he took a supplement not approved by NSF.

    Next on SportsCenter ... https://www.espn.com/college-sports/story/_/id/33763226/dryden-mckay-hobey-baker-award-winner-ncaa-top-men-hockey-player-banned-six-months-anti-doping-rule-violation

    If he wanted Vitamin D, why didn’t he take Vitamin D but instead chose this other Quercetin thing as @iramurphysays. Did he go to the store and not know how to spell “D”? And all these athletes are told time and again: Don’t take anything that the team hasn’t cleared!

    Guttman is the crankshaft of that engine, but he ain't got the pistons he had.
  23. The Sicatoka
    Remember "kids" (and I know you're reading this), as Dryden McKay says: " ... I, as an athlete, am responsible for what goes into my body." That applies to you too. If you're not sure, run it past Pooly first.
  24. The Sicatoka
    The MSU-M Compliance Staff could make those things happen (or not happen) before the NCAA is made aware. I can not find if USADA or WADA reports positive findings to the NCAA when they test Olympic sport (BB, hockey) athletes.
  25. The Sicatoka
    The article says: The article is unclear as to whether the NCAA was told by McKay, MSU-M, or the USADA, and if so, when. I'm pretty sure the Hobey Baker committee was unaware until a few hours ago.
