— In shocking news out of Columbia this afternoon, Missouri Tigers standout running back Ahmad Hardy has reportedly been suspended indefinitely from all team activities following a positive drug test, according to multiple sources close to the program.

The university released a brief statement confirming Hardy’s suspension, citing “a violation of team and athletic department policies.” Specific details regarding the substance involved have not been disclosed at this time.

“We hold all of our student-athletes to the highest standards on and off the field,” said head coach Eli Drinkwitz in a statement. “While we’re disappointed, we will continue to support Ahmad as he navigates this process.”

Hardy, who has been one of the Tigers’ breakout stars this season, was leading the team in rushing yards and touchdowns, playing a crucial role in Missouri’s 2025 SEC campaign. His absence will likely have a major impact on the team’s upcoming matchup against the Arkansas Razorbacks.

University officials have not confirmed whether Hardy will appeal the suspension. Further information is expected following the results of a secondary test.

Fans took to social media moments after the news broke, expressing both shock and support for the junior running back, who has been a favorite since his freshman debut.
