NCAA Reinstates LSU Cornerback Kristian Fulton

The NCAA has reinstated LSU cornerback Kristian Fulton, Fulton's father told Sports Illustrated's Ross Dellenger.

Fulton must pass a drug test in order to be reinstated, reports Dellenger.

LSU athletic director Joe Alleva sent a four-page letter to the NCAA outlining reasons for reinstating Fulton, citing that the NCAA charged the cornerback with tampering (a two-year penalty), and he should have been charged with "urine substitution" (a one-year penalty). The interpretation committee agreed, per Dellenger.

Fulton was originally suspended for two years after tampering with a performance-enhancing drug test.
