From the article....wonder if Bullough had the same issue. I bet the substance while not approved by the Big Ten is okay in the SEC.....

Interestingly, Ohio State lost the Big Ten title game to Michigan State, which learned just before it left for its Rose Bowl trip that its team-leading senior middle linebacker Max Bullough had been suspended due to a team rules violation. MSU also did not specify what rule was broken.

Wonder if it's DHEA a natural steroid that you can buy

Everybody who gets busted for this kind of thing says that they took the supplement by accident or didn't know what they were taking. I am usually skeptical of such claims, but the way Spence has conducted himself I don't have a reason to not take that at face value.

At the very least, as a big-time athlete aspiring to become a pro, you have to know what you're putting into your body and take responsibility for it. Not to mention there's a whole army of people working for the program who could (and should) help players with those sort of decisions.

I wonder how often they get tested; with the way his parents were reportedly so vigorous against them, it makes me wonder if it was a supplement he's been taking for some time. Pure speculation (we need more of that here, no?) creatine isn't a banned NCAA substance but I can't find a list of Big Ten banned substances; if anyone has better luck, I'd love to see it to see if that is on their list. It would make sense to why it never was an issue for NCAA or OSU tests but only Big Ten.

Creatine also doesn't directly increase performance.

I may have my scarlet spectacles on, but to me, it smells of bureaucracy. Rule #405,239,201. Not available at bigten.org. The compliance people reporting to (my least favorite) AD did not do their job of relating this rule to the players. It may have been the pink handout underneath the 40 others handouts when they were puking after two-a-days. He probably ate the stuff most of his life. Meanwhile, it is fine for Lewan to pull face masks.

I digress, but there are now more laws in the US than people can count. The last estimates are north of 10,000. And then there are the laws made by agencies. I have even seen "laws" made by corporate Human Resources departments at fortunate 500 companies regarding health care, who make inconsistent rulings on how much tax is owed by employees, with different companies ruling different ways.

And then there are the laws that are so vague that they can be applied to almost any behavior.
