I don't like the drugs, but the drugs like me...

Tennessee's Duke Crews is gone. The reason? Drugs.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. -- Tennessee sophomore forward Duke Crews and sophomore guard Ramar Smith are being dismissed from the team.

A source close to the Vols' program told ESPN.com's Chris Low that multiple failed drug tests led to the pair's dismissal.

"They did a lot of positive things in two years, but we have very, very high expectations for student-athletes on and off the court," Tennessee coach Bruce Pearl said before the team's end-of-season banquet, which was not attended by the two players.

But wait, Mr. Crews says hogwash...

"Coach (Bruce) Pearl and I agreed that I should transfer," said Crews, a former Bethel High star. "All of the negative stuff that I've been reading is really old. There wasn't anything current that would've been a reason for a dismissal. It was just a lot of little things from the past that piled up."

Crews said that ESPN.com's report on May 2, which stated that multiple failed drug tests led to he and teammate Ramar Smith's dismissal from the team, was inaccurate.

Well let's go with what we know. We know that The Duke-ster has been busted for drugs on multiple occasions. We know that Coach Pearl publicly said he will give Crews one more chance. And now he is gone and we are suppose to believe that he just wanted to transfer.

Yeah...
