COLUMBIA, MO. • With Missouri quarterback Maty Mauk suspended for the third time in four months, teammates came to his defense Tuesday, the day after a video emerged showing Mauk appear to snort a line of white powder, prompting Mizzou to suspend the former starter indefinitely.
The nine-second video, posted Monday on Twitter, was taken two years ago and the quarterback has since addressed his drug problem, a Mizzou teammate told the Post-Dispatch. The player asked that he not be identified discussing a sensitive matter.
Mauk’s initial suspension last September was related to a failed drug test, multiple sources confirmed.
