How is it convenient? Maybe I'm just being denseI can't be the only one who thinks that DT and Hudson's recent suspension was very, very convenient.

I'd guess approximately 25% of men's basketball and football players do illegal drugs while an scholarship in college. That is probably a conservative %.
It does not bother me that Wake Forest tests players. It does bother me that Wake Forest seems to punish players harsher as compared to other colleges for the same infractions.
Didn't crab pull a knife on someone in DTWS?
Have you ever smoked grass, reff? Any other recreational drugs? Alcohol, anything?
Don't know why that matters, but was fairly commonplace to see a lot of this while I was at Wake in the mid-70's. Especially on the 4th floor of the Pika House, which was known back then as "Sky Suite." Also know from seeing several MLB players in Dec at a wedding my son was in that they also said they were not tested for marijuana, which I found interesting. I figured all of their testing included drugs of all kinds but it is only for performance enhancing stuff.
Does Wilbekin do drugs ?
Amazingly MLB also does not test for marijuana or several other "drugs of abuse"--MLB players are not subjected to random testing for any drugs of abuse, including marijuana. A player will only enter MLB’s drug treatment program if he is suspected of using a drug of abuse, in which case the player will be referred to an MLB treatment board. The treatment board will then conduct an initial evaluation of the player to determine if he should be placed in an official treatment program.

As for MLB, the progressive legalization of pot makes it problematic to test. If you play for the Rockies and Mariners (or you are on a road trip in CO or WA), why should you prohibited from using something that can be legally consumed?
Appears that when a team in not in an NCAA tourney (which hasn't been an issue for WF basketball in a long long time), the school has the discretion to test or not test whenever they feel like it. Not saying it was the case with DT and Crab, but definitely could see an athletic department use this system to "weed out" players that they don't want around anymore and/or protect players that the athletic department wants to keep. Let's put it this way: State is not testing Cat B, Duke is not testing Brandon I or Grayson A and UNC is not testing Brice J without plenty of warning. Simply, not in a schools interest to rigorously test, particularly if a team is successful.

Aren't there plenty of legal substances that are banned by sports leagues? Like Adderall or even pseudoephedrine?
Wait wut?
For some reason, I highly doubt that college athletes are smoking marijuana for the purposes of pain relief.I think there's a link between high marijuana usage among athletes and the medical marijuana debate. Marijuana may be a more natural form of pain relief than what is generally available to athletes.
I just think it might do you some good to crush some up and burn one down.
