Here's what university policy states.
Enjoy...Really, you can skip right to the Third Positve Test and Sanctions section to find what you're looking for folks.
Bottom line: Get ready for a little Mike Box action Saturday at Louisville - and how selfish of Mr. Cody Endres. Guy already had the starting job.
The two guys suspended in August, who quickly earned starting jobs, are both gone - Erik Kuraczea for good.
You may not - and that's fine - but I feel bad for Randy Edsall because he gave both of those kids a second chance and they deserved it. He believed in them and he should have but they failed him, the program, themselves and the fan base that supported them. That's all they did - just weren't dedicated enough to team....
First Positive Test: Sanctions
Upon the first positive test of a student-athlete indicating the presence of any of the listed or other street drugs in the student-athlete's system at the time of testing, the Director of Sports Medicine will notify the Director of Athletics and the student-athlete's head coach. The Director of Sports Medicine will also notify the student-athlete of a positive test result. Unless there is an appeal, the student-athlete will be referred immediately to the appropriate personnel in Student Health Services for evaluation and for recommendation of specific treatment. The confidentiality of this initial evaluation and treatment process is critical and will be strictly maintained with the patient-physician confidential relationship preserved between the student-athlete and medical personnel. Student-athletes informed of a first positive test must report to Student Health Services for evaluation and treatment within an amount of time deemed to be reasonable by the Director of Sports Medicine. Refusal or failure to report will result in sanctions being placed upon the student-athlete equivalent to those levied for a second positive test result, as defined below. The student-athlete whose first test results were positive will be retested within a 2 to 8 week time period, with the timing of this follow-up test to be determined by medical personnel. If, at any time during this 2 to 8 week period, the student-athlete refuses evaluation or treatment by the appropriate medical personnel in Student Health Services, sanctions equivalent to those for a second positive test will be levied. Any student-athlete who initially tests positive for the specified or other street drugs will be subject to testing not only within the 2 to 8 week period but also to a maximum of two (2) additional tests during the academic year. This provision for subsequent testing will apply even in the case of a negative follow-up test.
Second Positive Test: Sanctions
A student-athlete who tests positively for street drugs during the follow-up test described above or who tests positively at any other time during his or her career at the University will not be allowed to participate in practice or competition for a period of 30 to 60 days. At the end of this period, the student-athlete will be re-tested. If this test is negative, the individual may be reinstated for both practice and competition. Following a second positive test, the Director of Sports Medicine will notify the same personnel as for a first positive test. Additionally, in the event of a second positive test, the student-athlete will be required to undergo more intensive treatment with the appropriate medical personnel. Refusal of the student-athlete to participate in this more intensive treatment program will result in the levying of sanctions equivalent to those of a third or fourth positive test.
Third Positive Test: Sanctions
A student-athlete who tests positively for street drug use for the third time during his or her career at the University will be barred from practice and competition for the remainder of the academic year in which the third positive test result was obtained. Following a third positive test, the same procedures to be followed subsequent to a second positive test will be carried out and the student-athlete must again be seen by appropriate medical personnel for treatment. Refusal to participate in this procedure will result in sanctions equivalent to those applied for a fourth positive test.
Fourth Positive Test: Sanctions
Any student-athlete who tests positively for street drugs upon a
fourth occasion at any time during his o her career at the
University will lose his or her grant-in-aid and will be permanently barred from practice and competition in his or her sport or any other athletic event sponsored by the University (including intramural competition). Continued medical treatment for the drug-abuse problem will be offered to the former student-athlete during the time he or she remains as a student at the University of Connecticut. Prior to the application of these final sanctions following a fourth positive test for street drugs, the student-athlete shall have five (5) days within which to request a meeting with the Director of Athletics for the purpose of establishing reasons why this sanction should not be applied. At any such meeting, the student-athlete shall have the right to bring a representative.
