FORT COLLINS, Colo. (AP) -The shadow of the season-long suspension trailed Colorado State linebacker Ricky Brewer.
Everywhere he went he encountered people who knew he was forced to sit out his junior season, but only a few realized why.
The secret was eating at him.
So, Brewer decided to let people in on the reason, speaking candidly this summer about testing positive for marijuana at the 2008 New Mexico Bowl.
A one-time mistake, he asserted, that cost him a steep price – a year of football.
He’s determined not to let it derail his athletic career, and said his admission has proven to be quite cathartic, lifting a weight off his shoulders.
