GNC - Oregon AG Going After Them for Spiking their Supplements

[NoGaGator]

Don't know if this was where Grier obtained his supplements - and he should have vetted the supps with the staff - but this should certainly help in his appeal.

Well isn't that interesting…

It was a big enough deal on Wall Street today that their stock was suspended in trading...

Did Grier get his supplements from GNC or somewhere else?

Early reporting said GNC. But I don't know if that was ever substantiated.

The initial reports were from T

Just one more reason why they shouldn't be buying their own supplements. Anything legal can be obtained by the team nutritionist and they all know it.

I thought Grier was at Complete Nutrition

Now we know why Morgan and Morgan are involved in Grier's case. He might have a legitimate claim.

The NCAA wont care how or why.... they only care that it was in Grier's (piss??) test.

Just go back and look at the case of that UGA olineman. They DONT care.

This story is interesting, and might be a wrinkle in our case, but will have no impact in the end.

This could get interesting.

I think with that guy they were okay with forgiving him, but wouldn't let him on the field until it stopped showing up in the tests.

The uga admin is pretty notorious for being weak in these types of cases. They don't have the clout of Foley or the desire to back their players they way that many other programs--including our own--will do. I read their boards occasionally and many crucified the AD for his handling of both the Houston and Gurley cases. Instead of actively trying to defend their guy, they just sort of took it on the chin. I don't expect that from us. If there's any discrepancy or angle to play, I fully expect us to pursue it, and am fairly confident that we'd at least get a reduction.

Me thinks not everything is making it on the labels. If that's the case, the trainer check would be pointless.

In the early 90s - it was Hot Stuff... that stuff worked great - it also tripped PED tests.

It most certainly will matter in a legality case that challenges the NCAA's right to deal out playing suspensions
when the athlete along with official trainers cannot know that there are "hidden" ingredients in a powder-mix for
drinking as a "natural" concoction. ??

Such suspensions should be examined as harm to any athlete achieving his $$-paying career, his future income. In
that consideration, suspensions should not be for an entire year interfering with a second season.

investigation came as a welcome surprise to health experts who have long complained about the quality and safety of dietary supplements, which are exempt from the strict regulatory oversight applied to prescription drugs.
The Food and Drug Administration has targeted individual supplements found to contain dangerous ingredients. But the announcement Monday was the first time that a law enforcement agency had threatened the biggest retail and drugstore chains with legal action for selling what it said were deliberately misleading herbal products.
