Sheng Peng: Nate Schmidt's Loud Silence

Not much the guy can say unless he actually finds some evidence to back his case.

Move on, leave the 'incident' in the past. At this point in time the people that think he's a drug cheat will always think that, those who support him will continue to & those in the middle will forget about it in due course. If It keeps coming back into the spotlight those in the middle may move against him. He's said his part leave it at that.

Very well written article.

Agreed, what’s done is done. He was tested several times during the season last year and was negative, this last time during off season it was positive and he has no evidence to refute the evidence of a positive test. He is suspended according to the rule book, it is what it is. He owes no other explanation or apologies.

Very well written article.

Thanks!

And yea, on my side, it's easy to simply want a guy to talk because it makes my job better and easier. But talking to Kristi, it helped open my eyes to the risk management involved. In the end, while there could be positives accrued by talking and being the regular Nate, the risks don't seem to be worth it.
