    Keys was rated as one of the top all around athletes in the state of Louisiana.

    it's not that huge of a deal

    It's not like he killed someone, or stole anything, or raped anybody. I don't think yall realize how many LSU athletes smoke pot.

    Once they get caught, I hope the full power of the law descends upon them.

    its allowed in the NBA. That's right, allowed even though against the law.

    For smoking weed? Alot worse things out there than that... It is actually illegal in the NBA but they only test veterans once a year and it takes 3 positive tests to get a suspension.

    NBA drug policy:

    THE NBA AND NBPA ANTI-DRUG PROGRAM
    The following is a summary of the key elements of the National Basketball Association (NBA) and National Basketball Players Association (NBPA) Anti-Drug Program contained in the 1999 NBA/NBPA Collective Bargaining Agreement.

    1. Prohibited Substances
    The following substances are prohibited under the program: amphetamine and its analogs, cocaine, LSD, opiates (heroin, codeine and morphine), PCP, marijuana, and steroids.

    A Prohibited Substances Committee comprised of one representative from both the NBA and NBPA, and three substance abuse experts jointly selected by the NBA and NBPA will issue a list of prohibited steroids. In addition, upon application by the NBA or NBPA, the Prohibited Substances Committee may determine to add substances to the list of prohibited substances if such substances are illegal, or are physically harmful and improperly performance-enhancing. NBA players will receive six months notice before any new substance is officially added to this list pursuant to the application process.

    oh thats right, didnt Laettner get suspended for it? the deal always was they get tested maybe once a year if any but had to test positive 3 times....
    Before, it wasnt even a banned substance if i remember correctly nor tested for... All the press used to laugh or bitch about it.

    its still a laughable policy to give the view they have a testing policy....similar to MLB and steroids.
