Will be a good teaching moment if it is PED related because the players ought to be going through the nutritionists for everything. AD is paying good money for a huge staff of trainers and nutritionists and the players should use them. Brown may have really hurt his pro future with this stuff.

This is what is hard to understand. We put a ton of money, effort, research, etc. into providing all of our athletes the best that we currently know. There is no reason to run down to the mall, and buy some discount protein powder, at GNC. (Possibly from China, to make things worse.)

Incredibly stupid decisions.

Really hoping that this is not PED related as you will need Brown and James next year.

If this is PED related, it is interesting how differently Saban and Dabo are handling it.

Dabo: Admit that it was PEDs, but say it had to be a mistake and our guys did nothing wrong.
Saban: Not admit that it was PEDs, but say these guys messed up and are paying the price.

This difference makes it sound like it is weed/improper benefits for our guys.

No matter what happened, I prefer Saban's way of handling these things. It is an internal thing and these young men (and the school) have a right to a certain degree of privacy.

You mean you don't like Dabo putting Dexter Lawrence out there today for Media Day? It's such a wise decision.

Crazy young men throwing away an opportunity to play and be a a part of Alabama. Heck the Clemson guys doing the same. Def sucks.

I wouldn't be surprised if all three guys are done here if the suspension is a significant part of next year. If we're talking 4 or more games then I'm pretty sure eligible players will get all the reps in practice and the suspended guys will be on scout team if they stay.

Hard to say..........Honestly, they should have thought before doing whatever it is they did
Since we preach to all of our players about the evils and dangers of PED's, I have to assume the players knew what they were doing, and thought they could get away with it.
Just because a salesman sez it will not show on a Drug Screen, does not make it so... That's if it's PED involved.
(I'm afraid PED is what the smart money would bet on)

I’ve figured Baker was gone no matter what. He took a RS last year and has appeared in one game so far.
