Turkoglu drug test: 20 game suspension

From what I understand, the NBA have a policy where they can only test a player 4 times during any season.

So after the 4th test, it's party time...they can use and abuse as many drugs as they want without worrying about being tested.

I don't know how many players would actually get tested as many as 4 times in a season though, so you'd think that this wouldn't apply to most players.

There is an interesting chat on the 13/02 BS Report between Chuck Klosterman and Bill Simmons about PEDS in the NBA. they also talk about Royce White. http://sports.espn.go.com/espnradio/podcast/archive?id=2864045

@David Anyone who reckons PEDs do not help basketballer's (and yes there are plenty of people who have said that) just needs to look at Lewis's stats before and after the drug ban.

@Triton95 Yes, i expected different. Heroin perhaps?

I remember when Rashard Lewis was tested positive for a banned drug and was suspended for 10 games a couple of years ago. Charles Barkley commented, that he didn't believe that steroid use was widespread in the NBA.

Less than 12 hours after their big win last night, the 36ers conducted a clinic at the Dome for the Junior Jammers. Top job 36ers!

Selection of shots from the clinic on the following url:
