Different tube, same urine: Swinney and Lawrence disappointed in latest decision

DALLAS, TX – Different tube, same urine.

The NCAA informed Clemson on Thursday that the "B" samples produced the same result for defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence, offensive lineman Zach Giella, and tight end Braden Galloway and the trio will miss Saturday's Cotton Bowl College Football Playoff semifinal between the second-ranked Tigers and No. 3 Notre Dame.

The “B” test came after the “A” sample showed a trace amount of the banned substance ostarine. Clemson asked for another test to be run, but it was off the initial urine sample and came back with the same result, according to head coach Dabo Swinney.
