NCAA Hall of Doping Shame

Add to this list every guy (and girl) who ever beat me in college. No way any of them were clean.

How has nobody mentioned Adeajah (sp?) Hodge? She was banned but is competing now.

If including sprinters Randolph Ross should be mentioned. Banned for Whereabouts. Is back running and ran 45.6 in Arkansas last week. Ran 43.85 and looked like a future stud in 2021.

OP was beaten by Clevenger and is treating us to another attack on him, this one via roundabout fashion by listing a few other athletes first. lol

Add Shea Foster to that list

Michael Saruni. God he was good...too good

Issam Asinga - iirc got caught doping after he signed up NCAA but before he started NCAA.

I'm out of college and never competed against Clevenger. If I really wanted to smear him, I wouldn't bother to hedge with words like "possible," "allege," and "purporting." The attention his case has received did remind me to make this list, though. I'm happy to remove him from future updates, should the situation at Iowa State be fully explained.

And I appreciate the other names people have contributed.

Semoy Hackett, one of the only NCAA athletes to fail an NCAA test and have that result become public (because her team had their title stripped).

Demi Payne failed a test at USATF indoor during her college season, but the results did not become public for several years.

Does anyone have a good source for this? I know her coach was Gerald Phiri, who was banned for doping, along with teammate Issam Asinga. The AIU press release for Phiri's provisional suspension mentioned that three of his athletes had tested positive for GW1516. But I can't find anything that confirms Hodge was one of them, or that she actually served a suspension.

Keating?

- Skyler Franklin. Currently at LSU. Given a provisional silent ban 2 years ago that caused her to miss world U20s. Eventually ended up excused without any long-term consequences since she was 16 and likely given stuff without her knowledge while at Montverde Academy. AIU recently appealed, case is currently pending.

- Grace Nwokocha. Athlete under Duane Ross at NCAT who was banned the summer of 2022 for a doping violation. Currently banned.

- Consider Ekanem. Athlete under Duane Ross at NCAT. Apparently banned right before SECs(?) last year following a positive test by the NCAA. Scratched from NCAAs, not on the Tennessee roster, and hasn't run a race since.

Edit: Here's a lesser known one: Steve Mullings. Withdrew from the 2005 NCAA championships following a positive test. Would later catch a lifetime ban in 2011.

the list is definitely so much bigger, unfortunately schools are not required to announce when their athletes fail drug tests. So many are just gone for "violations of team rules:"

But obviously Americans can not be dopers. All elite athletes and top collegians are doping period.

Westly Cheating is first person that came to mind. IIRC he actually posted here in a pretty depressing fashion. His story is like Ken Caminiti - also IIRC he nearly died at pre-Nats having a heart attack right on the course with blood so thick that it would make Bjarne Riis shake his head in disgust. Then just transferred from Texas to UTPA with the easy border access (and triple IIRC he worked at a pharmacy in high school?) and whipped up on Arkansas runners at regionals.

Asinga's coach was suspended for the 3 athletes testing positive. "The Athletics Integrity Unit (AIU) has provisionally suspended former Zambian Olympian and current USA Track & Field (USATF) licensed coach, Gerald Phiri, as part of an ongoing joint investigation with the US Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) triggered by three athletes – all coached by Phiri – returning Adverse Analytical Findings for the same prohibited substance."

We know Asinga was one. Skyler Franklin almost certainly was the second. All rumor was that Hodge was the third.
