UH football players say they have not been tested for COVID-19 despite claimed "clean bill of health

In a recent article by the Star Advertiser on Sunday, where the University of Hawaii came out and said their players were covid free, the players came out calling malarkey.

Senior DL Mason Vega tweeted "we have not been tested, stop the cap". Jr CB Akil Francisco) tweeted out, "all cap".  However, the most damaging tweet came from former punter Ben Scruton.

Scruton tweeted, "Someone doesn't know the facts or is hiding the truth about what's going on. Multiple lads I know haven't received a test at all for this to be remotely true. People still think the virus shit is a joke, protect these MEN! These are human beings not tools for wealth."

The university is not disclosing any information about the test so called issued to the players. Schools like thee Ohio State Buckeyes among others, have canceled all training prior to the season. 

In a quote from the article, it states "Approximately 100 football student-athletes are working out, and none (has) tested positive since arriving on campus (two weeks ago),” officials wrote in an email to the Honolulu Star-Advertiser..."

Tanner Haworth sports editor for Ka Leo broke the story and wrote, "Many players voiced their indifferences to the report on Twitter, many replying with the “cap” emoji, another way of saying someone is lying (i.e. “Stop capping”). "

Covid is already costing the school millions from losses of games this season. The last thing the Rainbow Warriors need is to lose more due to improper handling of the coronavirus. While this will go unnoticed by the casual college football fan, this is sure to draw the attention of the NCAA.
