Will Grier Says He Took "Over the Counter Supplement That Had Something In It"
By Ty Duffy
Florida Gators QB Will Grier and Jim McElwain addressed Grier’s NCAA suspension for a positive PED test.
Per Grier, he took an “over the counter supplement that had something in it” without consulting Florida’s training staff. The “something” was left unstated. Florida says it found out about the test on Sunday and plans to appeal the suspension.
Beyond the one-year suspension, Grier also loses a year of eligibility per NCAA policy. He will be a junior when he returns in 2016.
Grier is also charged a season, plus the one he used this year, so barring a successful appeal he’ll return as a JR.

UPDATE: Per multiple reports, the supplement was ligandrol.
UPDATE: Grier reportedly took banned supplement called Ligandrol which isn't classified as a steroid, but is banned as performance-enhancer.
