All schools test for PED's as well as marijuana, etc. If Bama were to have tested a player and that came back positive for PED use the player would be suspended by UA and we'd still have "violation of team rules" as the reason. It's a privacy issue between the University and the player falling under HIPPA guidelines.

There is an outlier here when it comes to what the University's can release. IE: If a player, or a players family, allows details to be released the school can: they don't necessarily release them even with permission. (While it's not a drug case, a good example if found with UCF's QB being hurt and what happened after that...his family asked that details not be released in full.)

Just because the NCAA notified Clemson of the failed test and Clemson decided to release those details doesn't automatically mean "the NCAA releases those results." Again, that was a decision made by players, players families, and the staff at Clemson. Addressing what they believe to be false positives...putting this in the public spotlight can't hurt their cause(s.)
