Siouxphan27 Posted March 4, 2019 Posted March 4, 2019 I just saw this ad, paid for by NDSU football staff, in the NDSU Spectrum paper: 1 Quote

We could but you're the one throwing around the "outlier" comment in regards to NDSU's rate of passing drug tests. So unless you have a good reason to deflect, let's stay on topic. Quote

Just so I understand, all it would have been required is for the player to have taken two scoops of the supplement in question, along with a Mountain Dew or two, and he would have been vulnerable to a positive test for stimulants? Is that the case? Quote

Is that the case? You tell us, chief. Apparently the narrative has developed into he simply ate a couple of those chocolate coffee beans that Caribou puts on drinks and then tested positive for caffeine. Do I have it right? Quote
Mama Sue Posted March 4, 2019 Posted March 4, 2019 Seriously Bison73, you do have a lot to be proud of and should be basking in the team meeting the president. Why are you continually trolling here? I do say I have come to know and enjoy more Sioux supporters here with your posts. Quote

Is that the case? Under the assumption you are tacitly stating, namely that the issue is caffeine, and under your implicit claim to know the supplement in question and its caffeine content, and that of Mountain Dew, it is possible given potential consumption times and biologic half-lives. So possible, but many assumptions and moving parts in there. That said ... we know none of that because there are no stated facts about the detected stimulant from any involved party (Robbins, NDSU, NCAA). Quote

If it's caffeine I think they just come out and say caffeine. I don't think anyone cares about caffeine because it's socially acceptable. My gut tells me, it's not caffeine as you really have to work hard for 500mg in the system post game. 1 Quote

Too much lock down since the SDSU game in the FB program (and AD office) at NDSU for it to be caffeine. They absolutely don't want the name of this product to get out. Quote

Even without further information from either party there's just no way it was caffeine. Brock said he was concerned about being called a steroid user or marijuana user. Yet, he didn't bother to add another sentence to help clear his name by saying, "by the way, taking this supplement resulted in having more caffeine in my system than is allowed." Quote
The Sicatoka Posted March 5, 2019 Posted March 5, 2019 Should NDSU choose to announce any further information about this matter, I can't think of a better week to do it. The football team was in DC; there's a donor announcement Thursday at NDSU (per ira). It would easily be at best third in this week's NDSU news cycle. And third prize doesn't even get you the steak knives. 1 Quote

The Sicatoka Posted March 5, 2019 Posted March 5, 2019 When this first broke the whisper mill churned out "they just forgot to put in some paperwork to the NCAA" as the problem. (See earlier in this thread or on other sites.) What that implies is the substance is acceptable under a prescription from a doctor. That's how something disallowed becomes acceptable. The NCAA does offer exceptions in the case of "under a doctor's care or order". Now the story is caffeine. Has anyone ever gotten a prescription for ... caffeine? And, if it is caffeine why not say it and get the sympathy (and scoffing disbelieve toward the NCAA) from the average person who gets through their day with a vente triple-shot espresso. This is where I loop back to ... we don't know until someone with first-hand knowledge of the test results (Robbins, NDSU, NCAA) makes an official statement. Quote
BarnWinterSportsEngelstad Posted March 5, 2019 Posted March 5, 2019 Actually, I think it will take another teammate to come forward to break this story. The story about "Proper paper work" or, "wait, it was too much JOE" IS ALL MADE UP BY THE TROLLS, NDSU never come forward with any of that. Quote

The Sicatoka Posted March 5, 2019 Posted March 5, 2019 The curiosity in this is the following: If it really was caffeine why not just come out and say it. The average person would be flabbergasted that the NCAA would take away a season for drinking a freshly brewed pot of Folgers*. Robbins and NDSU would more than likely get sympathy and the NCAA would get scorn (and who's not in favor of that). Heck, if we tested the student body at any university for caffeine during the last three days of finals week I wonder how many would fail in the eyes of the NCAA. But by not coming out and saying "caffeine" it makes me wonder ... is it. All that said, we don't know until someone who knows (Robbins, NDSU, NCAA) says so. *I received no compensation for that name drop. And believe it or not that would get the average person close if not into the NCAA fail category. Quote
