I have never tried smoking weed so I can't speak about experiencing its effects firsthand, but would it be classified as a PED? Are there previous cases of bball players getting suspended by FIBA because of failed doping test with marijuana as the culprit?

I think marijuana is a downer. It is used by some people suffering from insomnia or those having sleep disorder. So I think it's not a PED. Still, a prohibited substance is a prohibited substance. There's no getting around from that rule.Originally posted by Rodbi View Post"A king may move a man, a father may claim a son, but that man can also move himself, and only then does that man truly begin his own game.

Yeah, that's what I keep learning about the drug for the longest time now. Sanction-wise, if ever FIBA decides to move, how long would be JB's suspension?Originally posted by JAMSKIE View PostComment

Based on the article, they prohibit it because not only can it have a PED effect on some athletes (pain reliever, calming effect for tense moments) but it is also for safety purposes. It can increase risk-taking and could slow down reflexes that can be dangerous.

hmmmm, if this is legit, I suspect this is related to his injury and surgery during the world cup build up. he might have taken some pain killers to ease the pain from his surgically repaired injury.. and the doctors and he himself deemed what he is taking as legal and ok.. just my hunch..
anyways, unfortunate for brownlee.. he might be suspended for a long time and not being able to play for any league.. that would greatly affect his income and finances for his family.. unless Ginebra and the San Miguel group help him..Comment

Hope so that only 3 months of suspensionOriginally posted by GoPilipinas View Post"A king may move a man, a father may claim a son, but that man can also move himself, and only then does that man truly begin his own game.

The very likely scenario here. SMC has jumped through hoops to have him naturalized and have him available for BGSM for the last 7+ years to great successes in the basketball aspect, so it's only fitting that they support him. There's a strong clamor for marijuana legalization in the PHL these days anyways so his transgression, I think, can be forgiven.Originally posted by zuma169 View PostComment

Hope so too and if JB gets banned ginebra will have to find a new import wow JB has been their resident import for a very long time.Originally posted by JAMSKIE View PostComment

If 3 months only then it is yes, since he was caught positive on October 7 and if it is 3 months then the suspension will be last until January 7 2024… so he can play… but we have to remember, he can’t play any basketball related activities for that span even recreational games that will cause him uncondition when he comes back… and Bell was tested positive in USA.. cannabis is legal in US.. so the penalty is lower… but because he was tested positive in China, cannabis is illegal in China, that means suspension might not just only 3 months…Originally posted by GoPilipinas View PostComment
