What is the penalty for a positive drug test?

The penalty for positive tests of both performance-enhancing and street drugs is strict and automatic. Student-athletes lose one full year of eligibility for the first offense (25 percent of their total eligibility) and are withheld from competition for a full season. A second positive test for street drugs results in another lost year of eligibility and year withheld from competition. A second positive result for PED usage will render the student-athlete permanently ineligible.

What is the penalty for failing a school-issued drug test?

Each NCAA member is responsible for determining whether to establish an institutional drug-testing program, at which time the school would be responsible for determining applicable penalties. If a testing program is established, though, the school is obligated to enforce the penalties. Failure to do so can lead to NCAA sanctions.

So it is my understanding that a self imposed suspension would keep CO from losing a year of eligibility. Not sure if he would lose that eligibility this year or next.
Thank you seem we have a few here who would be happy with the Syracuse type morality

I would be very happy with a program that is guilty of some under the table payments, some academic fraud and some failed drug tests than a program like ours, for example who is guilty of under the table payments, failed drug tests, assault and oh yea, murder.

Give me SU and all of their massively insignificant "crimes" to go along with their wins over top 25 programs, their NCAA appearances and the success at getting talent to the next level.

I'd be able to live with myself just fine.
But throw that religious  kid whose religion has taught him that homosexuality is not
an exceptable  lifestyle off the team. 


I'm sorry, but I don't understand what you wrote.

Poison, I respect you as a poster but you are totally wrong on the obligation to report and to suspend.

Obligation to report, yes. Obligation to suspend? If I'm totally wrong, where exactly is that written, and what on earth does a suspension accomplish?

http://www.ncaa.org/health-and-safety/policy/frequently-asked-questions-about-drug-testing

Obligated to report.  Failed test administered by the NCAA is and automatic one year suspension.  If the school has a testing policy, they must report and they must enforce the restrictions.  I'm guessing this two week suspension will become a one year suspension.

EDIT:  I re-read the policy.  We are obligated to report and enforce the school's disciplinary policy.  I'm not sure it will result in the year long suspension imposed by the NCAA ( unless it was their testing).

Thanks for posting that. If the NCAA has a one year suspension for testing positive for drugs, where is it written that if your own university catches you, you get a 2 week suspension? Where did Lavin get that from? His agent?

Obekpa not worth putting the program at risk, especially if a new coach is to be sought. I no longer think we can attract good players but I been wrong plenty.

I wouldn't be surprised if this actually brings CO back next year. If the test was administered by the NCAA he would lose his eligibility for next year. If administered by the school, by an independent company (which wouldn't just look the other way), the school can suspend him for 2 weeks and is eligible to play next year. Either way stupid move by CO that let his teammates and fans of the program down.

No risk about it, we are already there.  We have done next to nothing for over 20 years.  Because SJU is in NY and plays at the garden it is POSSIBLE to rise from the performance cellar we are stuck in.  TO RISE AGAN A CHANGE IS ALMOST CERTAINLY NEEDED, Lavin must go.  How can we keep a coach who states he is a poor tournament coach.

Pathetic this costs a kid a moment of a lifetime. Still, Obekpa has to be smarter, but he's just a college kid.

Wait, are you suggesting we move on from Coach Lavin? From the #Hammer to Rock? From the #2 recruiting class in the nation?

The hate and vitriol that have been spewed throughout this topic is incredible.  While I am extremely upset with CO's lack of judgment and what it means to his teammates and us fans, the school-not the coach- made the right decision.  The school has a code of conduct which indicates penalties for infractions.  A violation of school conduct occurred and a penalty was assessed as it would be to any other student, suspension from non academic school activities.  Lavin did not make this suspension unilaterally but in conjunction with the AD and school administration.  If he knew the infraction and covered up, he should have definitely been fired on the spot unlike a coach of an upstate school whose administration kisses his butt. 

That said--let's take it forward one game at a time; now beat SD State!
