Sefolosha suspended for 5 games

So if he smoked pot while in Denver does that mean NBA laws are above state laws? What will happen when it will be legal in all USA?

Lots of banned drugs are legal for the rest of us.

No. Its was reported as gunga. Read the front pg twitter feed.

Actually the original twitter feed doesn't say pot. Only the wiseasses replying to the tweet suspect that.

According to ESPN "The League did not specify how the players violated the drug policy".

So stupid if it's for weed. It ain't gonna hurt or help anything to do with basketball.
Not performance enhancing or anything and not harmful either. So lame.

If you want to play in the NBA, you play buy their rules. Simple.

You're lucky none of your sports are signatories to WADA.

2yr suspension under WADA protocol.

Fair call.

WADA are a joke, FIFA told them to F off, the AFL getting involved with them was so stupid, a sport played in one country where the league has total control over everything and they sign their doping rules over to an external body.

Probably not marijuana.

Apparently a player is subjected to a 5 game ban for pot after their third infraction.

Would The Jazz even have signed him if he already had strike one and two?

Agreed.

It would have been so easy to get out of that Essendon debacle. Tell WADA to jam it and run their own anti-doping policy.
