Baylor athletic director Mack Rhoades said Tuesday there was no internal drug-testing system in place for student-athletes at the school when he was hired last year.

In an appearance on 1660-AM in Waco, Texas (h/t Chuck Carlton of the Dallas Morning News), Rhoades said the following regarding the changes he made upon arriving:

"When I got to Baylor, we did not test. We did not have any robust program. We implemented it. It was one of the 105 Pepper Hamilton recommendations. Now I can tell you this: that we would have implemented a policy whether or not that was a recommendation.
