Chris Lowe has an incredible story about bravery and privacy regarding Chris Lofton and his private battle w/ testicular cancer that was diagnosed because of a random drug test mandated by the NCAA during the 2007 tournament. That kid may have been off his game this year, but he had more class than any one I know.
Plus, I have an aunt who works in the radiation department at UT, and she never hinted -- and we're a huge basketball family. I have more admiration for her too.
There's also a story at knoxnews.com, but it's much shorter and not as well written. http://www.knoxnews.com/news/2008/may/01/vols-lofton-treated-testicular-cancer/
