"I need to really see what the whole judicial process comes up with," Reed said. "Naturally, he's innocent until proven guilty. At this point in time I can sit back and see what the school and D.C police will determine."
But for the water polo team, the drug discovery policy will not be altered. While Reed said he is not opposed to testing for drugs in athletics, he added that he would not institute tests solely for his team in light of the arrest. Rules and punishments for drug and alcohol violations are made clear early in the year and water polo players understand the ramifications before they start practice, Reed said. He added that he relies on players to tell coaches and captains about drug problems.
Price will not be required to enter a drug rehabilitation program, possibly because he may not have tested positive in his drug screening, said Maria Douglas, his case manager in D.C. Pretrial Services. In a document filed with the court, Price "indicated never having used substances."
Price is due in court with Judge M. Zinora Mitchell-Rankin, a 1979 graduate of GW Law School.
According to the UPD report, MPD was notified because the UPD officer noticed a large amount of marijuana. UPD Officer Travis Hafner entered Price's room at about 2 a.m. Sunday and found seven students and a strong odor of burnt marijuana, according to documents filed with the court. After a search, the nine bags of marijuana, money and "(numerous) smoking devices" were found, and Price claimed everything. One of the seven people was not a GW student and was banned from campus.
The Hatchet reported in the Oct. 12 article that the University has no additional policy for testing its athletes for drugs on top of NCAA rules, which ban street drugs but do not test for them except in national championship events.
