SiouxVolley Posted January 31, 2019 Posted January 31, 2019 So this negative NDSU Kolpack story gets printed on a day that paper isn't even delivered to customers? What a perfect day for it to be published. 2 Quote

Or with the help of their 'internal' drug testing, they thought they would never test +. Do a lot of teams do their own testing, internally? I found this part of the story interesting. Quote

Approximately 40 playoff games x 18 player tests per game tells me that is about one tenth of one percent positive tests. Yep, the staff must be pushing illegal stimulants on those kids... These PEDs are only banned during the playoffs?? Are they legal during winter and summer workouts? Seems that would be when they are of the most benefit and the right time to distribute them to the players. Quote

UNDBIZ Posted January 31, 2019 Posted January 31, 2019 For those curious about PEDs and the efficacy of drug tests in sports, check out the documentary Icarus on Netflix. The drug tests can be and are beat all the time, it's all about timing. 3 Quote

The best case for your argument would state that roughly 50% of the roster would go untested if the random testing never retested a player during a playoff run. We both know some guys have !@#$ luck and get tested all the time while other go their whole career without a sniff. Quote

Mama Sue Posted January 31, 2019 Posted January 31, 2019 My maternal hormones would major kick in and I would be livid.... obviously.... the professionalism and integrity of NNjuiceU has an inverse relationship to the natty titles They should be put through the ringer....certainly NOT a role model for other teams Quote

Coaches distributing these PEDs to players would know that. They would also know players get tested in the postseason so take it all season as well. Him being the only player that tested positive in the post season doesn’t mean it still couldn’t be all over the locker room at all other times of the year. 1 Quote

And what happens with the results of those in-season, non-playoff tests? Who administers punishment, if any, for failure of those those? Hint - NDSU gets the results, not the NCAA, and they aren't required to do anything with the results. BR had been taking it since halfway through the season by his own admission yet skated by without it being picked up. Though I seem to remember a handful of "violation of team rules" resulting in a game or two suspensions over the year with no other explanations, but then again, if they are failing tests from things being given by the coach, probably let those ones slide. 1 Quote
Popular Post gundy1124 Posted January 31, 2019 Popular Post Posted January 31, 2019 Other than manhandling K. State, remember the undersized, not overly fast, not overly strong LB that played like incredible hulk? Was it Beck? I think we know why. And SU is notorious for guys playing way 'bigger' than their actual size. All makes sense now when I called this out years ago, and was called crazy by the SU posters. (Crazy Smart) 8 1 Quote

If your team rules say "follow the NCAA rules" and your coaches demand that, why would you need to test your own people? You only test for something you're looking to detect. Either you - don't trust that your own team rules are being followed, or - you're looking to make sure what you're doing stays below detectable limits 2 Quote

Mama Sue Posted January 31, 2019 Posted January 31, 2019 Sicatoka.... you make some very valid points... since Colorado legalized marijuana several years ago... people who had urine drug screens that came back positive (stays in your urine 30 days) just said, ”Well dude, I just got back from Colorado!” Quote
Bison06 Posted January 31, 2019 Posted January 31, 2019 If any of you would read the actual story you’d see how foolish your rhetoric is this morning. He said it was a standard preworkout supplement and he tested positive for a stimulant. There are categories of drugs for a reason people, this isn’t rocket science. You’d think the medical professionals on this board would be speaking up on this. For those who are stating that NDSU has had players in the past perform bigger than their size insinuating they got some sort of anabolic affect from this “preworkout” drink, simply don’t understand physiology. Stimulants aren’t anabolic, in fact, long term use can be catabolic. https://drugabuse.com/stimulants/effects-use/ best source I could find real quick. NDSU has opened itself up to criticism on this and I’d like questions to be asked and investigated as to the specific details. But, keep it to the facts people, you guys are like CNN right now with your logic leaps. Quote
The Sicatoka Posted January 31, 2019 Posted January 31, 2019 Let me bring out the statements I never expected from Kolpack's article. Quote His mother, Lori Robbins, said a “trusted program staff member” provided a pre-workout powder that contained an illegal substance or substances. Who is this mother Lori Robbins? Quote Lori (Knetter) Robbins was NDSU’s first women’s basketball All-American, is still the program’s all-time leading rebounder and is a member of the Bison Athletic Hall of Fame. Not the kind that would seem to have reason to besmirch NDSU. And yet she doubles down ... Quote Contacted again on NDSU’s response that a student-athlete provided the substance, Lori Robbins said, “That is extremely incorrect. It was a product that was brought in by a trusted staff member.” She not only claims it, but re-iterates the claim against NDSU's trusted staff member. Either she's right or she's been misled (assumably by her son, which would say even less about him). Quote He said he first started taking the supplement about halfway through the 2018 season. ... “You can’t get this specific one at Walmart or anything, but it’s a basic ‘pre-workout,’” Brock said. To me that one speaks for itself. Whatever this is someone has to know where to acquire it, and it ain't Walmart. And again (former Bison) mom ... Quote “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.” She doubles down the double-down against trusted NDSU staff. And she goes on to spread the charge beyond just her son. In the trade they call that "all in". But wait, there's more ... Quote “Brock lost everything and I knew the institution would not suffer from this, not in public,” Lori said, with her voice breaking. Now how in the world did she "know" that. I mean how would she claim to know the inside goings-on of NDSU Athletics. Oh. Wait. NDSU Athletics Hall of Famer ... My only question at this point is this: Are folks in Indianapolis taking note? 1 Quote

He threw them under the bus then got in the drivers seat and ran them over. That is tasty now isn't it. Quote 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. Mom and son are in direct dispute with this claim. Now who benefits from which claim? NDSU saying "not us" protects NDSU. The mom and son saying "NDSU supplied" are opening themselves up to scorn and derision. Quote

He threw them under the bus then got in the drivers seat and ran them over. I agree and at the end of the day, just knowing how these things tend to go, I fear the kid will be the only one to suffer. As I stated last night, I’m 99% sure I know who the “trusted staff member” is and I am all for this person not being allowed to be around our student athletes moving forward. I don’t take issue with anyone criticizing NDSU for any of the above, it’s a problem and as an alum I’m for it being addressed immediately. As to people calling into question NDSU’s success and discrediting the program and actually calling out individual players as having taken anabolic agents, as I said, let’s keep the conversation on the facts. Is it a problem that this kid tested positive, absolutely. But the facts are he is the only one out of hundreds of players over the years that has tested positive. So let’s go easy on the steroid BS.
