BREAKING: Multiple Iowa State Athletes Suspend for Season for "Breaking Team Rules," Confirmed via Head Coach Jeremy Sudbury

I have also heard that some African countries such as Morocco make the athlete get tested 3 times before they can go to Worlds/Olympics so that Oklahoma state went out of their way to pay for those tests shows alot of character and that they stick by them after they graduate.

If Dave Smith of all coaches would take the time to call rojo to tell him the Musau allegations are bs, then why wouldn't the other coaches be responding unless the allegations are true?

Except no one believes it. The testing is a joke and the people in the sport are corrupt liars.

I think Seth Clevenger should make a statement either confirming or denying use of peds. The longer he remains silent, the more the whole team, the coach, staff and admin - probably all clean, will suffer by guilt from association. Dude has to speak.

Coach Sudbury should keep his job. He's doing a wonderful job, and everyone loves his personality and methodology. Great pedagogue. Democratic leader.

ISU rocks - this is a very unfortunate situation. Nationals soon - the team doesn't deserve this turmoil and innuendo.

Agree with Rojo in this one. If all these rumors are true and the coach took appropriate steps as soon as he learned about this, then firing him would be the worst thing to do. It would encourage every coach in the future to turn a blind eye. If the coach acted appropriately and immediately suspended the kids and launched an investigation, then he should be applauded for his leadership.

Once again your biased opinion will have no bearing on if coaches are fired or not but the facts will tell the real story and if 5 athletes on the Iowa State cross country team fail doping tests or all openly admit to using then it's game over.This isn't a Hallmark movie where everyone admits their mistakes and lives happily ever after. This is potentially the biggest doping scandal NCAA distance running history.

At this point, I think the funniest outcome would be if the real story was a few guys getting busted for public intoxication. I’ll be rooting for that.

A statement from Iowa State like the one Dave Smith gave would help here.

I’m also laughing at doping being called “breaking a team rule”.

In high school, in our code of conduct, it specifically listed murder as a reason you could get suspended from school. Similar vibe here.

I firmly believe that coach Sudbury had 0 knowledge that any athlete on his team was using Peds. If a PhD student is using cocaine as a way to energise his studies for his dissertation, does the PhD supervisor and committee have to lose their jobs and tenure? Of course not. We're talking about adult students here, ages 18-22.

Coach Sudbury has a wife, kids and handsome salary, $270,000 +. No way he would be foolish enough to jeopardize all that. I feel bad for coach Sudbury. He doesn't deserve this. Let's fix this situation asap. Nationals are just around the corner. The kids on the team are suffering, in limbo. This needs fixing, fast.

If the runners weren't doing PEDs but they went out on a bender drinking like crazy, would you say the same thing about the coach?

These are grown men. Adults that are responsible for their own actions, unless a coach knew they were doing this and let it go, they alone should suffer the consequences.

Just like the statement made on instagram by Iowa State athletics department you both sound the exact same in the line that you both will do anything to win and put this under the rug but really it just shows the type of people you are 5 athletes caught doping potentially and all you both can do is look forward to conference this Friday.

People with good moral standing would address this issue not deflect and put something like "Breaking team rules" up through an email with Rojo and on social media platforms.

See: Terry Rozier, Chauncey Billups in the last week for otherwise

From the NCAA website:

NCAA bylaws require head coaches to promote an atmosphere for compliance and to monitor the rules compliance of those who report to them

its in his job description to know what the kids in his program are doing.

You should represent him in court I almost believed you there for a second.

I think he gets the mike and 5000. 1500 seems just out of reach but I hope I’m wrong.

Isn't this exactly what he's doing?

The problem is they refer to the dudes as breaking a team rule which sounds real small, like being late, but they are banished forever. I would sure as heck hope nobody is missing more than a meet or 2 for public intox at college. Public intox is not drunk and disorderly its literally drinking and being by the street or off property. People on spring break that step on the sidewalk get a public intox. If its PEDS it feels weird to refer to it as a "team rule".
