Former Boise State quarterback Rathen Ricedorff tested positive for a performance-enhancing drug this spring, which led to his eventual departure from the football team, a source close to the program told the Idaho Statesman.
The school announced April 18 the junior quarterback was no longer on the team, 10 days after the end of spring practices. The NCAA penalty for a positive PED test carries an automatic loss of one full year of eligibility for the first offense. The source said it had been more than a decade since the last such positive test in the Boise State football program.
