    In an ESPN article about Roberts being refused the right to play international ball, his idiot representative had this to say...."They cited no precedent, nothing," said Schoenfeld, who is appealing the ban through FIBA. "I would think that when the league and union changed the drug agreement, they didn't contemplate that there could be this kind of punishment.

    "He's a human being with four kids, and a worldwide ban is an incredible burden on someone with a limited number of years left in his career," Schoenfeld said.

    So the league had no idea? I think not! I think they know exactly what they are doing, and I love it. Not that they have control of international ball, but it has to be putting a new idea in the heads of some of these guys. If I get busted in a drug test, I lose my job, and then my oporturnities for the future are left up any future employers. If they choose not to hire me, too freaking bad. Welcome to the real world!
