    Wow. I must be out of the loop. What's "over the counter" that's a big no no?

    NBA is cutting down big time on PEDs. There's a whole section on it in the CBA

    I was shocked by the length. 20 games! Are they only regular season games, or does it carry over into the playoffs? (Just remembered he's with the Knicks, poor guy)

    Lengths are spelled out in the CBA. Might be a second positive or something. The penalties for positive of "Drugs of Abuse" are much harsher...see OJ Mayo getting kicked out of the league for minimum two years. mar1juana is least harsh suspensions.

    They actually test for grass? Wow. Seems archaic. Thanks, HP.

    Such bullshit. I really wish pro sports would move away from these sort of policies.

    Noah is a dude, and he loves the game of basketball. The NBA has just banned him from playing the game he loves because of B.S.

    All the dude did was take pain killers and he gets suspended? ****, half of America is taking pain killers right now so you may as well suspend all of us.

    Considering the Knicks' season, he probably did it on purpose.

    Should've given him a pass since the drugs did absolutely nothing to give him any sort of advantage to playing the game.
