On Monday the University of Florida announced that starting quarterback Will Grier would miss a full year — starting on October 12 — due to violating the NCAA’s policy enhancing drugs. Grier was tested under the NCAA’s random testing process in the year-round drug-testing program.
Both Grier and Jim McElwain maintain that Grier took an over the counter supplement that contained something in it that was banned by the NCAA. Florida, as every college around the country with a sports program does, routinely educated their players as to what they can and cannot take and that if there is any question in their mind they need to check with the medical staff.
