DT Dexter Lawrence among 3 Clemson players who fail drug tests
Looks like if this failed test holds, they'll all be suspended for at least the Cotton Bowl.
Star defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence was among three Clemson players who tested positive for a banned substance earlier this month, coach Dabo Swinney told reporters Monday.
It's not clear if the test results will impact the players' eligibility for Saturday's College Football Playoff semifinal between the No. 2 Tigers and No. 3 Notre Dame (4 p.m., ESPN/ESPNApp) at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.
He said he expects "B" sample test results, which would determine the players' eligibility for the game, would be available Wednesday or Thursday. The "B" samples are secondary tests to weed out false positives.
"We're just kind of at the mercy of the process," Swinney said. "And then there's an appeal after that, but that doesn't really help with this game."
For their sake I hope the process is quicker than clearing someone academically for basketball.
Update: All 3 failed their B Samples drug test and will not play for at least the Cotton Bowl.
