Perea interview

[zacharyiu97 28]

Saw on peegs that Perea gave them an interview on his dismissal. What did he say?

[Zachary Farmer 135]

Does anybody have a peegs account because it looks like important facts are in the Perea interview?

[AKHoosier 6,714]

He passed his drug test but was still kicked off the team.

 

I have to say, I don't agree with that.  I'm sure there are other factors that led to his dismissal, but I feel it may have been excessive to kick him off the team for having Devin Davis with weed inside his own apartment.

Sounds like Crean has even bigger balls than we thought if Perea passed his drug test

Completely agree.  

 

Certainly did not expect Perea to pass the drug test.  Not sure if I'd take his word on it though...

[Hovadipo 54,676]

Maybe he passed "ON" the drug test.

[CottageGrove 563]

Completely agree.

The article pointed out that other sources confirmed the passed drug test.

Wow, thanks!  Certainly did not expect this.  I'm assuming there's more to the story; like AKHoosier said, seems excessive to kick him out just for hanging out with DD. Now, if he was in the room while DD was lighting up, then I get it...otherwise...

[MikeRoberts 6,914]

So DD was smoking by himself?

Did it specify in the article if the drug test was prior to the incident or after?

[IUALUMNI2003 24]

I am pretty sure that he passed a drug test prior to the incident, which is what I have read.  Which explains why they thought they could get away with it in the first place.  They assumed they wouldn't be tested for a while since they were just tested.

[NateNoel 84]

How far back did the screen test? Maybe he was below the cutoff level. Just because he passed doesn't mean he didn't use. Also, I have a hard time believing he was completely innocent here. IMHO too much smoke (lol) for there not to be some fire

Seems controversial to write a favoring piece on Hanner without asking him to clarify the drug test timeline in the article. I haven't read the article and can't tell if it's written in context of questioning Crean on Hanner's dismissal (lack of post incident drug test) or if it's a plea from Hanner to try and return eventually.

[OliviaPope40 6,376]

So he passes the test but yet still gets kicked off he must have gotten kicked off for something else.

[bnkepner 1,509]

Don't think it matters if he passed the test or not. How many chances does someone deserve? There are a lot of things that go on that us fans don't know of. This could have been the last domino in the chain for Crean

[Bryan Medema 1,488]

Just throwing it out there: It's at least a misdemeanor to be present when someone else is using drugs OR that you know they possess them.

[Lt. John McClaine 541]

I don't even care to read the article, and that's no disrespect to anyone who has or is going to, I've just moved on from the whole situation.  The thought of thinking more about Hanner and Devin, and replaying in my head all of the what ifs, is way too tiring.  

[rebelhoosier848891 9,588]

It's shoddy journalism to write an opinion piece without knowing ALL the facts.  Plus Medema is correct---it's at least Visiting a Common Nuisance---a misdemeanor--if you go to a place and know someone is possessing/using drugs there. Hanner knew what was expected of him and he failed to live up to those expectations. In other words---he blew it.  No sympathy here.  Coach did the right thing. I wish Hanner well in the future but he would have still been at IU if he truly respected the law and the program he represented. I've already moved on...anybody hearing anything on Bielfeldt?

Yup. He said he was tested the same day of the incident (Monday). Cops were called at 8pm Monday night to his room. HIGHLY the university was testing their athletes after 9pm when cops left his room. Also HIGHLY doubt he would clear a test today. Classic case of passing a test and knowing you have time until your next one.

IU read that article and started shaking their head at the Spin Hanner used.

[Hurryin' Hoosiers 1,948]

Maybe he was expected to show leadership and tell dd not to be smoking pot.
