Former GS warriors player jordan bell got banned by fiba for the same substance for 3 months only so Brownlee can still play in feb window right? lol

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..

He will now be known as Cannabis Brownie Brownlee….lol

Justin Brownie is better hahaha lol

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.

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.

It can also be used as a pain killer/pain reliever,

but still, its part of WADA's and USAD's prohibited list

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?

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?

Will the french league let him play if not a fiba sanctioned game?

I believe OQT is FIBA sanctioned, hence being called FIBA OQT.

[C2Hamm]

in that case, Kouame will be our NP in Olympic qualifying tournament next year.

Will the french league let him play if not a fiba sanctioned game?

No sabotage here, It will be sabotage if 3 or more players were positive by any drugs that is prohibited by Inter Doping Agency… we will retain the gold.. only Brownlee will get suspended by IOC for many months… If we compare to Kiefer’s situation before, 18 months is max suspension for Brownlee…

I think you're right here.
When Kiefer was tested positive for prohibited performance enhancing substance in 2018, Gilas was not stripped of its wins over Japan & Chinese Taipei in the qualifiers of the 2019 FIBA World Cup.
