real lawyer here sitting in arm chair mode. That seems generally right on FERPA. But everyone is missing the forest because they are focusing on the eligibility and drug testing questions, when the actual worse behavior is knowingly providing a banned substance to a collegiate athlete at his old school. There is no drug testing thing for that. If he did it, and we have no reason not to believe the other athlete, then he violated one of the most serious NCAA rules (Bylaw 10.1), and probably should be ruled permanently ineligible. And I think he probably will be. That doesn't give the metals to the rightful owners, but it is at least some measure of accountability.
Lance ruined a lot of people's lives in the process. I feel like he still hasn't fully been held to account for that. To me attacking low level employees for telling the truth when asked was mafia behavior that should have sent him to prison.
if Rowan does try to take this court then is it true that the whole Iowa state + Rowan scandal will be revealed or is that just optimism? Also if it does go to court does Rowan even have a case for defamation given the first hand accounts and (presumably legit) evidence?

If true, using family money to try to scare others. If the other kid has any backing, they will turnaround and sue for a declaratory judgment saying that whatever threat the cease and desist made (usually that they will get sued for defamation) is not actionable. And the beauty of it is that the reason it isn't actionable as defamation is because it is true. You get to depose him and his mom, and the whole thing falls apart because he has to take the 5th because the EPO stuff is potentially a federal crime.
Assuming you mean if he tries to take somebody to court for defamation for accusing him, then yes everything comes out because truth is an absolute defense to defamation. That is why it will never happen.

Yep. Which honestly is what most of us hopes will happen because it’ll give us the answers we’ve been trying to find for months and this applies to everyone who wanted to know more about the Iowa State scandal since it got swept under
but even now, the fact that Coach Sudz talked to the SJU coach is pretty (good) telling of the team culture at Iowa State asides from the scandal

Oof not good for our boy. Although plenty of dopers have perjured themselves before so who knows. Would truly be tough with 4 different accounts from third persons. And that pesky email from his mom floating around.
Does anyone have any connections to people in the media, at any level? Could be worth trying to sell them this story…
Chiming in here from eating my 🍿 reading this thread.
I work in said niche space; I have brought it up multiple times to them but obviously it gets ignored; they’re more filtered than I am unfortunately. But they do see what is going on I just don’t know if there will be any coverage on it.
and in terms of level, it’s a titan; we also have connects to other people in other outlets; everyone sees what’s going on but legally they’re not trying to risk anything (pansies). Citius tried to write about the podium but it was nothing short of pitiful.
let me be clear that I am on team Rowan clean sport*
sent some emails to the rowan president+sponsors. also sent a tip to The Whit; the Rowan University paper. would encourage anyone on the thread to do the same.
Maybe you should quit your sock puppet thread and post creation that proves your insane OCD over Clevenger. 😂
Hey bud, you might wanna sit this one out. Especially when you have own teammates turning on your coaches
Your campaign will ultimately fail. You’re just mad he rightly pointed out you keep making endless posts and threads. Did Clevenger steal your girlfriend? Or worse? Don’t obfuscate, just tell us. Or let us know why you’d never have the courage to after a cheating African. Even though we alreadt knwo why.

You are probably correct that it’s mainly one disgruntled kook running a campaign. Just look at how many posts he’s made under different names in this thread alone, this page alone. Best to ignore him until he winds down or offs himself. Which is no joke. He seems possessed, totally consumed, as crazy as Armstronglivs or rekrunner. Wild.
We may soon lock this thread if it is just a few people posting back and forth to one another. Threads are not meant for 2 people to insult one another
