Just got off the phone with a Clemson official. Here's what I know about the three Clemson players -- defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence and backup tight end Braden Galloway and back up offensive lineman Zach Giella -- that failed drug tests.

— Last Thursday, athletic director Dan Radakovich was notified by the NCAA that these three players had a "trace" amount of Osatrine show up in their system. It falls under the category of SARMs, a type of performance-enhancing substance.

— A second sample -- Sample B -- is being conducted to conclude that the substance is undoubtedly in their systems. Clemson anticipates hearing something back on Sample B on Wednesday. If Sample B is positive, the players cannot play. If it's negative, they can play. Clemson will appeal if it's positive, but the appeal won't be conducted or finished by Saturday's game.

— Ostarine has shown up in previous drug tests conducted on athletes, and players have later been vindicated. Ostarine can enter system through creams, hair products, and similar things.

— All three players will have legal representation.

— Clemson is preparing and practicing right now on the basis that they'll be without these players.

— When Dabo Swinney called Dexter Lawrence to talk to him about it, Lawrence thought Swinney was playing a joke on him.

— Was told "Swinney 100 percent believes in the players' innocence."

— Clemson could have waited until Wednesday to release this information but they're citing wanting to be as transparent as possible from the start.

Will Clemson's Dexter Lawrence play in Cotton Bowl after failed drug test? Chances are 'slim and none'

Big loss for Clemson

How much time did they get to pound water before sample B was collected ?

How much time did they get to pound water before sample B was collected ?

When done correctly the specimen is collected and split under supervision. Half becomes sample A and half becomes sample B. Both A and B are supposed to be from the original specimen.

B Sample was positive for banned substance as well, suspension upheld.

So lawrence is now out for the season correct ?

NCAA PED violation is one year ?

He did want everyone to know that he was at peace with the decision whatever it was. Notre Dame agreed wholeheartedly, they were as well.
