BIRDMAN KICKED OUT OF THE NBA FOR ATLEAST TWO YEARS!

by **j.23** on Sat Jan 28, 2006 12:41 pm

the birdman was on something more serious, i'm pretty sure.

"Under terms of the NBA's collective bargaining agreement, any player testing positive for drugs of abuse (amphetamines, cocaine, LSD, opiates -- including heroin, codeine and morphine -- and PCP) can be disqualified from the NBA.

Players who test positive for steroids or performance enhancing drugs, masking agents and diurectics get a 10-game suspension (1st offense), a 25-game suspension (2nd offense), a one-year suspension (3rd offense) and disqualification (4th offense).

Marijuana penalties are a $25,000 fine (2nd offense), a five-game suspension (3rd offense), a 10-game suspension (4th offense), and five additional games for each subsequent violation."

That's interesting. So it's not weed or steroids, I'm going to guess cocaine.

but what if spends the 2 years doing it again?

by **Jugs** on Sat Jan 28, 2006 1:21 pm

2 weeks? 2 years you idiot.

cracker, cracker , cracker

what he "did" must have been very serious. 2 years is very long, and i have never heard of this long of a suspension(let's face it, he ain't coming back).

Maybe he did meth, or heroine.

LSD is usually a five year suspension. Stanley Roberts was banned in 1999 for testing positive for that.

I find it interesting as well, but I'm glad they didn't get rid of Artest for 2 years.

drugs as in steroids, or like marijuana and coke?

I just remembered, Latrell Sprewell's suspension when he choked Carlisemo was originally two years before it was negotiated down to the remaining 68 games. His contract was originally nullified as well before the Players' Association stepped in and successfully disputed that decision.

after reading a few posts from realgm, it seems as if its a hard drug, not just steroids or performance enhancing.

by **BIG GREEN** on Sat Jan 28, 2006 4:01 pm

Yea um...atleast we wont have to ...err..like see him the dunk contest and stuff again. or some joke like that...

by **#12** on Sat Jan 28, 2006 4:09 pm

Sounds like something my high school principal would say back in the day.

Sounds like something true.

I saw this on the news ticker but I really didn't believe it. Two years =O.
That is a long ass time. I knew he was a druggie when he came into this league :cool:

I was actually a fan of his. Shit.

If you read the posts above, it wouldn't have been steriods.

Players who test positive for steroids or performance enhancing drugs, masking agents and diurectics get a 10-game suspension (1st offense), a 25-game suspension (2nd offense), a one-year suspension (3rd offense) and disqualification (4th offense).

Well.. if its performance enhancing... I wonder how he would've done in the dunk contest last year had he not taken them. :lol:
