BIRDMAN KICKED OUT OF THE NBA FOR ATLEAST TWO YEARS!

Like real basketball, as well as basketball video games? Talk about the NBA, NCAA, and other professional and amateur basketball leagues here.

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.

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).

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.

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.

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).
