I GOTS THAT FEELING - LSU Players Suspended?

[AUChizad]

PFFFFFT...you really think Les will keep them out of the national championship game?  He thinks he's suspending them on what amounts to a bye week. They will have served their time and promised never to do it again by the Updyke game.

By the way, all accounts are this is actually happening. I must have done something really good to deserve this.

Supposedly the LSU policy is to suspend them for 15% of the season for drug issues, and they round down. In other words, one game. I've heard this from multiple sources.

I know I probably missed it along the way, but what was the violation?  Was it roids? Gunji? Something else?

Synthetic weed. 

Not sure if that's confirmed, but I know ESPN reported it so it must be true.

Teh hashish mon.

Yeah, something's weird about that.

The entire purpose for synthetic weed's existence is that it is untraceable on drug tests. The only reason people use it is if they know they have to take one. The main ingredient is a synthetic molecular "recreation" of THC that mimics the molecular structure and basically has the same effects.

Which is why I don't think it was a failed drug test.  I think they were caught high or smoking something that was obviously not a cigarette.  Or perhaps busted with something worse and it was covered up.

We had a DEA agent come speak to our school about "Salvia."  He showed how "salvia" is just a plant, and the synthetic marijuana is a chemical that can be created using an almost uncountable amount of combinations.  You could essentially apply the chemical to any plant and get the same effect after smoking it.

The problem with detecting it is that they can't test the plant to see if any of the possible combinations show up.  They have to test to see if a particular combination of chemicals is present in the plant.  It's pretty much a crapshoot; therefore, it takes months to determine if a plant has a chemical that mimics the effects of THC. 

Those chemicals work the same in urine.  You can't just take a piss test and see if they have any chemicals in the urine.  It's the same with THC.  They're testing specifically for THC.  They know marijuana has THC in it, so it's not a Where's Waldo search. 

So how they busted these kids for "synthetic weed" is unbeknownst to me.  I saw some black helicopters heading to Baton Rouge though.

Sources: Suspended LSU football players to return for Alabama game

Baton Rouge - Three LSU football players suspended for Saturday's game with Auburn will miss one game and return for the Nov. 5 game against Alabama, two sources close to the situation said.

Leading rusher Spencer Ware and cornerbacks Tyrann Mathieu and Tharold Simon, who tested positive for synthetic marijuana, will not dress out Saturday when the No. 1-ranked Tigers play No. 19 Auburn.

Anonymous sources confirmed to the Times Picayune Wednesday that the three players would be suspended for the game. The LSU student newspaper, The Daily Reveille, first reported the suspensions of Ware and Mathieu.

LSU Coach Les Miles in a press conference Wednesday declined to acknowledge the suspensions, or speak in detail about them. The players have met with Miles and been informed of their status.

LSU has an open date next weekend before traveling to Tuscaloosa for what could be a battle of unbeaten teams ranked Nos. 1 and 2.

Hallalujah brothas and sistas!

Yes, the synthetic stuff is supposedly undetectable.  Also this was reported as a "University Mandated" test.  I assume all scholarship recipients and/or student athletes have this in their grant in aid contract.  I don't think the suspension, or length of same is Les' call.

He helped Joshua fight the battle of Jericho, he helped Daniel get out the lion's den, he helped Gilligan get off the island.

See, this is exactly what everyone is talking about.  LSU plays #19 (By that account) Auburn tomorrow and all anyone seems to be focused on is whether these guys will be back for the Bama game.  I damn sure hope their players have that same focus.  If they think this will be a walk in the park tomorrow, they may get that ass handed to them.

This is why I think we have an upset in the making.
