NCAA Re-Opening Drug Test Tampering Case of LSU Cornerback Kristian Fulton

There is still a shot the top-rated cornerback of the class of 2016 can take the field next season for LSU.

Kristian Fulton, the Tigers corner who was suspended for two years after tampering with a performance-enhancing drug test, is having his case re-opened by the NCAA, Fulton's lawyer Don Jackson told Ross Dellenger of Sports Illustrated.

According to Jackson, new evidence to the case is the reason behind the NCAA's decision. New York-based forensic science practice, The Forensic Panel, discovered the NCAA's testing procedure in Fulton's case lacked a "valid chain of custody," meaning there was something wrong with the transfer of the physical test sample.
