[I]Jake Crouthamel, SU athletic director for 27 years from 1978 to 2005, said he was aware of several failed drug tests during his time as Syracuse University's athletic director.[/I]
 
[I]But allowing those players to continue playing, he said, was another issue.[/I]
 
[I]"I don't recall any of that, of allowing players to play," Crouthamel said. "Those who tested positive, and I can really think of only one or two, didn't play until they were clean."[/I]
 
[I]Crouthamel did not name the players he knew had failed drug tests.[/I]
 
[I]He said he couldn't remember exactly what the policy was after a player fails a drug test. But he did say the player is informed of the failed test and continues to be retested until the test comes back clean.[/I]
 
[I]"That was a while ago," Crouthamel said. "I mean, I really don't know (what the policy was). We had to continue testing him until he was clean."[/I]
