NORMAN — The case involving Oklahoma defensive end Amani Bledsoe and his lawsuit against the NCAA will either be resolved by the end of the week by a Cleveland County district judge, or the judge will send the case to trial.
Bledsoe filed a lawsuit in August 2017 to contest a one-year suspension he was dealt for testing positive to clomiphene, an NCAA banned substance. Bledsoe’s side argued that he unknowingly took the substance in contaminated protein powder and that the NCAA didn’t follow its own review policies when it denied Bledsoe’s appeal.
The NCAA does not dispute that Bledsoe might have unknowingly consumed the substance.
