Qaadir Sheppard and Amir Ealey have been suspended from the Syracuse Orange Football team. According to sources, it's because of failed drug tests.

After Syracuse's loss at the hands of #1 Clemson on Saturday, the team announced that defensive ends Qaadir Sheppard and Amir Ealey were indefinitely suspended for a violation of team rules. Usually these things are kept under lock and key.
