Michigan's McGary fails drug test, enters NBA Draft

[Tums Festival]

Tested positive for Mary Jane. Michigan's losing quite a bit this year. Maybe guys like Noskowiak and Ellenson become more prominent on their radar.

Really? You get a potential YEAR-LONG suspension for weed? If true, what a joke.

Hiroshima.

[ZiggysFryBoy]

a weed bust will actually help his stock in the NBA.

[swoopem]

He had a bad back and Michigan is a medical State, that's some bullsh!t.

[Galway Eagle]

Are the rules still the same for Colorado and Washington schools? Or do they not get tested for those anymore.

NCAA has to approve it. No medicinal MJ for him.

I hope the unionization is able to make it so all recreational drugs are ok

I was kidding

Stupid. I don't partake myself, but a year long suspension for a drug that is legally in two states is beyond extreme.

But ethyl alcohol and nicotine and caffeine are perfectly acceptable drugs because why?

[BCHoopster]

Type of player the Bucks could get at the top of the second round, big body kid.  Michigan really is going to be a different time next year, how about those loses.  Horford, Morgan, Stauskis,
Robinson and McCary, now that is some talent leaving at one time.  Wisconsin should win the Big Ten next year.

[IL Warrior]

Hiroshima.

Yup. Their program is going up in smoke.

[Spotcheck Billy]

guess he should have grabbed that $ and turned pro after his freshman year afterall

Harvard study showing MJ causes brain deformations.  French study showing heart disease by MJ users.

But hey, there's no issues here.      


Again, the penalty given....voted on by the SCHOOLS, by the MEMBERSHIP.  Too harsh, tell your schools.  The NCAA is merely enforcing the legislation passed.  It happened at a NCAA sanctioned event.  He could smoke up all he wanted at school and the school's policies may be different...ahem...or a blind eye looked (typically depends how many PPG or what the QB rating is), but at a NCAA sanctioned event, rules are actually enforced.


By the way, student athletes are all told what the penalties are.

Aspartame in artificial sweeteners causes brain deformations.  French fries cause heart disease.

Everything is good and bad for you.

More injuries, death, divorce, abuse and any other evil you can think of has been caused by ingestion of ethyl alcohol than all other drugs combined.

Had a great tournament last year. Probably would've been a lottery pick.

So can you provide a list of what bad things gov't should regulate? And which should be OK even though they are harmful?

This explains so much about so many Scoopers.

I'm not missing the point, at all.  I find it ironic that this country, or segments of it, want to tackle big, bad tobacco at every turn, but at the same time they have no problem with MJ.  Both are problematic, both cause health problems, but one has a corporate face behind it, thus an easy target.

Look there are laws in this country and their rules and regs for companies, NCAA, etc, etc.   What would happen to an employee who tested positive at a Fortune 100 company at a company event?  Heck, I've seen people fired for being too drunk at an industry event. 

No one is denying it is done, but let's not pretend there aren't possible ramifications.  You may think 1 year is too much, I may agree.  Then again, people get FIRED for this kind of stuff in the real world.  There are ramifications.

The problem is that the rules are totally arbitrary.  Tobacco and cotton destroyed marijuana before it could become a FINANCIAL threat.  They did this by lobbying the government a decade ago.  Tobacco companies and cotton companies knew that marijuana (and associated hemp) could bite into their business so they did what big business does... They got the government to make their competition illegal.

If you're discussing purely tobacco versus pure marijuana, I get it.  Both are bad for you.

If you're discussing the amount of poison in cigarettes compared to the amount in marijuana... give me a break.

McGary strikes me as a total moron.  Always did.  Should have gone pro last year... so stupid.
