This is very concerning when you have a NDSU Hall of Fame - All American BB Mama accusing a FB staff member of giving supplements to players that eventually got Junior banned by the NCAA. Just because she is in the HOF and an All American doesnt mean she cant be wrong. Quote

The Sicatoka Posted March 4, 2019 Posted March 4, 2019 Quote His mother, Lori Robbins, said a “trusted program staff member” provided a pre-workout powder that contained an illegal substance or substances. The university denies the supplement came from a staff member. NDSU athletic director Matt Larsen said Robbins “got it from another student-athlete.” He didn't elaborate. ...... “I can take it if Brock did this on his own, but he didn’t,” she said. “He didn’t know a thing. And he trusted, he really trusted those people and it cost him. It really did cost him. And I thank God a bunch of those kids didn’t get pulled in (for random testing) because it was used throughout the locker room.” People are focusing on Larson refuting a Robbins claim ("trusted program staff member" vs "student-athlete"). What we're not seeing is that Larson all but affirmed a different portion of what Robbins claims ("student-athlete", "throughout the locker room" full of student-athletes). So, whatever it is (and we don't definitively know what "it" is yet), at minimum Larson's student-athletes have "it" by his word. That would seem to make Robbins' second claim plausible. Quote

You can choose to believe what ever you like There have been over 500 plus testings over the last 7..8 years and only 1 got pinched. The stats are not on their side. Elevated caffeine levels will get you busted as crappy as it sounds. Quote
Mama Sue Posted March 4, 2019 Posted March 4, 2019 Well reading UND’s public statement of this in 2011 puts NDJuiceU’s statement late in 2017 in question. Publicly acknowledging this.... reporting being disappointed... cooperating with authorities.... none of this was mentioned by NDJuiceU....BUT.....disputing statements.... blaming....and nothing about cooperating with an investigation not to mention the timelines of statements and actual dates of the incident. BIG DIFFERENCE thanks again to UND for a quality school and athletic department Quote

Sir, trust me I know a LOT about the media and law enforcement... that is how I recognize the subtle differences. Your institution did not act in an ethical manner; you use tax payer money and the public expects better. Of course, in today’s media climate I say that tongue in cheek. I would probably give some minimal wiggle room with the media. Anyone who deals wirh the media about something like this puts statements in writing. Can’t remember if the paper reported it as such. Seems to me it was a press conference AFTER the game. time to get over it Quote
