Jaron Johnson returned a positive drug test.

back to reason Marvin left please Isaac?

lately? they always have

Seems latley that WA teams and drugs go hand in hand

^^^ lol, pretty much

OK...so the Wildcats got rid of JJ because of weed and have now recruited Corey Webster?

King lodge, cairns has some of the hightest prices for cannabis though lol

Finally explains things a bit. I was always sceptical and not really believing any 'conspiracies' until hearing something official and some facts, until then it was all just rumours to me.

Funny thing is, that little bit of weed probably won us the championship after making the Wildcats sack him leading to the signing of Cotton.

Pretty stupid for him to do, but not the worst thing. Hopefully learns from the suspension and he is able to get his career back on track where ever in the world he ends up playing. I did like him and he seemed like he had potential, but he just wasn't a fit for the Wildcats.

So it wasn't just his waistband that was high all the time?

another reason he should have originally signed with Cairns, we have some of the lowest priced prohibited substances in the Commonwealth.

Re the question of why it took so long for a result to come back - this happens.

It doesn't invalidate a test result unless there is a significant departure from the International Standards for Laboratories established by WADA.

BY way of very recent example, I got a result on Friday from a lab for a sample collected and sent for testing in March. It came back Atypical, meaning that the substance occurs naturally in the body and the lab couldn't determine whether it was produced naturally or injected/ingested in any way.

It took such a long time because the lab did multiple tests over a sustained period to make sure there was no error.

What a tease. Implying there is more to the Marvin departure, but not saying anything. How archaic, this is the tell all ask questions later era. Frankly the truth is not even that important, just the juice.

Id say he is koberulz.... id say he is.

not everything makes it to Hoops (e.g., the reason Marvin left Perth)

Well let's have the reason reach Hoops now.

Has the reason for Marvins departure reached Hoops?

You can see the original speculation and rumours here when he was released. As I said at the time, Perth *and* the NBL would've had their reasons to keep it quiet.

Almost everything leaks, but not everything makes it to Hoops (e.g., the reason Marvin left Perth) or convinces everyone (that Johnson thread).

Relaxed for America, not here where it is still illegal beside medical in Victoria.

I thought the rules for cannabis had been relaxed a fair bit now?

Most or many people have done canabis, correct KR?

So why did it take so long for the test to come back? Or did the wildcats act slowly? because he last played december 22 but that article states he tested positive in november and they played november 13

...and to those sledging the wildcats organization regarding the second sacking of Jaron, I guess you can now eat your words!

When I said there would be a press release regarding this, I didn't think it would take this long!

on ESPN over the next day or two -

uconn will win the double - has that been done before ?

texas a&m i think are also in it
