Remember that alleged email that circulated a while back about Ohio football coach Frank Solich and how his drunk driving arrest was actually a case of him being dosed with GHB? Well, it turns out ... it's absolutely true. The Sporting News has learned that Solich's attorneys do plan on fighting the DUI conviction on the grounds that a toxicology report showed traces of GHB in Solich's system.

The memorandum of [Solich's lawyer's= motion indicates Solich was "not aware of ingesting GHB (or any other drugs of abuse, for that matter), and he would not have pled no contest to OVI if he had been aware of the information."

So in other words, Solich is now officially claiming that he was given the date-rape drug. In the wake of Carl Monday, Scott Sauerbeck and everything else, we ask again: What the heck is going on with Ohio?
