Georgia Player Suspended For Mistakenly Eating a Brownie That Contained Marijuana

 

Georgia All-American safety, Bacarri Rambo, was suspended for four games after there were traces of marijuana in his system. However, according to his high school head coach, Rambo was on Spring Break with a couple of friends where he mistakenly ate some "weed brownies." 

“Some kids had them that were staying with him and he said he got high,” Ingram said Rambo told him. “He thought the things had marijuana in them. He sat there a couple of hours and didn’t know what to do. He said if he turned himself in he’d get a four-game suspension for a second offense.”

Rambo had eight interceptions last season for the Bulldogs, which ranked second in the nation.

“Nobody would believe it, but I believe in the kid,” Ingram told the Banner-Herald. “I’ve got kids that go to other kids that say he doesn’t smoke ... He said he was tested five or six times last year and came back clean. He said, ‘Coach, I’m not stupid. I came back to the University of Georgia to be an All-American two years in a row. I could have went in the NFL.”

Rambo looks to appeal his suspension for the game he may miss, which are against Buffalo, Florida Atlantic, Vanderbilt, and Missouri.
