Hmmmm......maybe because athletes may use performance inhancing drugs to perform better on the field. Just a guess.....

thankfully this won't give the ENTIRE team and Jim Tressel a black eye.

Hmmm...you sound a little too knowledgable on the subject.

Spring Football Player Profile: Donald Washington - The Ohio State Buckeyes Official Athletics Site - OhioStateBuckeyes.com
Profile of D Wash from the Ohio State website. Thought this paragraph was worth noting. Doesn't sound like a kid who'd do something this dumb.
"I’m looking to do the best I can with this being my junior year,” Washington said. “I’m a year smarter and have a year more of experience under my belt so I hope it will be a good year for me. As a whole, we are a more mature defense with a lot of experience and play making abilities"
I sure hope this is just a crazy rumor.

If this is true, at least it happened now so proper adjustments can be made before the season.

A sad new verse for da Afroman classic if this one is true...
I was gonna be a star on the D, until I got high...
I was gonna start vs. USC, But then I got high...
Now the NFL 'ill never see me and I know why, (why man)
'cuz I got high,
Because I got high,
Because I got high.
Let that be a warning to all you young DBs out there at home...

I'd be willing to bet that everyone on the team, or on pretty much any other team for that matter, has a positive sound bite like that for their official athletic site quote. The fact that he didn't specifically mention spliffs in his OSU athletic site quote isn't really evidence of much.
