MikeLowell Posted January 28, 2006 Share Posted January 28, 2006 Press Release - The NBA announced today that Chris Andersen of the New Orleans/Oklahoma City Hornets has been dismissed and disqualified from the league for violating the terms of the Anti-Drug Program agreed to by the NBA and the National Basketball Players Association. A veteran player such as Andersen who is dismissed from the league under the Anti-Drug Program cannot apply for reinstatement for at least two years. The NBA, NBA teams, and the Players Association are prohibited from publicly disclosing information regarding the testing or treatment of any NBA player under the Anti-Drug Program, other than to announce a player's suspension or dismissal from the league Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Das Texan Posted January 28, 2006 Share Posted January 28, 2006 This is a bit more severe than suspended. He has been flat out booted from the league. What an idiot to do the hard stuff, cuase you know its not for boozing it up and its sure as hell not for marijuana. Stupidity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Accord Posted January 28, 2006 Share Posted January 28, 2006 The thread title is misleading, I thought it was just a 3 game suspension for something that nobody cares about until I saw the article. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TarHeel324 Posted January 28, 2006 Share Posted January 28, 2006 Wow, this is definitely unprecedented (or is it?) Michael Ray Richardson got thrown out of the league for life for doing drugs, but i dont think there was drug testing when that happened Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
