Chase Goodbread Original Content Writer. Daniel Shirey. Kolton Houston wasn't sure if he'd ever get to play football at the University of Georgia. I was stunned. I didn't know what to think. All the past years' emotions hit me at once. Houston first failed an NCAA random drug test shortly after enrolling at Georgia in , causing college sports' governing body to rule him ineligible because of steroid use. Houston and Georgia's medical staff insisted that his positive drug test stemmed from a steroid injection following shoulder surgery prior to enrolling at UGA.
Courson regularly tested Houston and documented that he did not reuse the drug after the initial positive result -- test results that preserved Houston's chance to someday return to the team, despite future positive tests that would have otherwise caused the NCAA to declare him permanently ineligible.
The problem was that the steroid, norandrosterone, seemed to be stuck in his system, failing to dissipate. Houston tried multiple methods of getting the drug out of his body through the years, including an aggressive massage regime, sweat therapy sessions and even surgery, where doctors removed the fatty tissue where the drug seemed to be concentrated. Although Houston's test results slowly crept closer toward passing, those treatments failed to produce the outcome he desired -- until the latest test, which will allow him finally to play college football.
This was truly a team effort. When I got the call, I broke down and cried for about 30 minutes. I had that much emotion stored up and it felt good to get it out. I'm ready now to show what I can do.
