Talk:Mike Huwiler
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Released by Virginia Cavaliers for marijuana use
I put this information in the article because it explains why he didn't play all four college seasons. Here are two source articles. Mohrflies 21:17, 8 November 2007 (UTC)
"Virginia will be missing Mike Huwiler, the team's other Olympic player who was suspended indefinitely before the Duke game for testing positive for marijuana use."

"In late October, Huwiler tested positive for marijuana, a banned substance, for the second time and was dismissed from the U.Va. squad. He subsequently withdrew from school and has been working, he said, as a cook at the Main Street Grill in Charlottesville while contemplating his future. He's thinking about returning to Milwaukee, his hometown, and enrolling in culinary school -- if he doesn't pursue his final year of collegiate eligibility somewhere else. Much depends, apparently, on how the Kickers -- and Huwiler -- do this summer. "I needed a break. I feel like I have the body of a 35-year-old from my ankles getting shot over the years," he said after Lennon made his formal presentation at the University of Richmond's Robins Center. "I'm ready to get back into it again," Huwiler said. "I didn't want to go out the way I did." Lennon knows he's taking a chance with Huwiler, but "I have faith in him," Lennon said. "I'm making a stand for him (because) he's a top-notch player and we want top-notch players." "I suppose you could say it's kind of a chance," Huwiler said. "As far as I'm concerned, as long as I do the job, that's what matters. Scoring goals, getting assists, doing what I'm supposed to be doing on the field, that's fine. Off the field, it's more personal." He wants everyone to know this: "I'm not smoking any more.""
