PISCATAWAY, N.J. — Mark Dantonio made it official Saturday.

Dantonio said after the Spartans' 27-0 win at Rutgers that his senior linebacker's appeal was denied after the senior tested positive for performance-enhancing drugs in late October.

There was no further clarity on what substance Bachie, a two-time captain, was found to have taken.

Bachie was a three-year starter at middle linebacker at MSU.
