COLUMBIA, MO. • The video released Monday showing Missouri’s Maty Mauk appearing to snort a line of white powder was taken two years ago and the quarterback has since addressed his drug problem, a Mizzou teammate told the Post-Dispatch. The player asked to not be identified.
Multiple sources confirmed that Mauk’s initial suspension last September was related to a failed drug test. The team suspected he’d been using drugs and administered the test, leading to his suspension announced Sept. 29.
Mauk was initially suspended for four weeks. Shortly after he was reinstated in October, Mauk was suspended for the rest of the season after he was spotted having a dispute outside a downtown Columbia bar.
