    Re: Trouble in Vermillion

    I guess regarding the specific legal issues . . . I'm not moving off of "wait and see."

      And Clark is no longer on the team for not living up to expectations placed upon after he was suspended.

          I don't know anything about the specifics of this case, and I am not a lawyer. However, possessing drugs within your blood stream is a crime in South Dakota, I believe.

            Since we are being Technical and all. The residual components of drugs can be traced in urine streams for quite some time as they are stored in the fatty tissues within the body. South Dakota's law addresses bloodstream not urine. Most drug tox screenings are done via urinalysis. So while you might be able to provide proof that someone had done drugs in the past couple of months that's not against the law in South Dakota as in you won't be arrested for it.

            My guess is the NCAA test and the school's test are not overly complex. (I might be way off on that) to clarify what I mean by that is I don't think the test used in the NCAA would have caught the blood doping that Lance Armstrong was doing heck even their tests which were looking for it had a hard time finding him.

              How all the sudden did this topic turn to athletes using drugs? I thought we were talking about alleged rape. I must be missing something.

                From today's (3/19/19) Argus Leader: Former University of South Dakota Football Player Get Probation in Rape Case.
                Williamson pleaded "no contest" to aggravated assault and got 10 years probation, credit for 96 days served. Near the end of the news story, it is reported Williamson may play football for Missouri Southern State University.
