Birdman Suspended For Two Years

27th January, 2006 - 7:26 pm

ImagePress Release - The NBA announced today that Chris Andersen of the New Orleans/Oklahoma City Hornets has been dismissed and disqualified from the league for violating the terms of the Anti-Drug Program agreed to by the NBA and the National Basketball Players Association.

A veteran player such as Andersen who is dismissed from the league under the Anti-Drug Program cannot apply for reinstatement for at least two years.

The NBA, NBA teams, and the Players Association are prohibited from publicly disclosing information regarding the testing or treatment of any NBA player under the Anti-Drug Program, other than to announce a player's suspension or dismissal from the league.

Couldn't have found a better picture to go along with the article. Anyway, definitely a surprise. If there's one positive in all of this, it's that he won't embarrass himself in the dunk contest. Again.

It's interesting the NBA considers using steroids worse than mauling fans.

Poor guy. He's going down as a terrible two time All-Star Slam Dunk participant who was ridiculed by Jack Nicholson on national television and a dope-head who's suspended for two years. Wow.

I suppose in some weird way they consider that to be compromising the integrity of the game moreso than getting into altercations with fans.

Who said it was weed or only weed? It must be somewhat siginificant for this kind of penalty.

The sad part is that it wouldnt even be a ruler, it was a piece of a bamboo stick that they would use to woop ur ass. I was lucky to not have to experience it because I played sports for the school.
