DeAndre Ayton 25 game suspension

Feel bad for Suns fans.  Just one misstep after another for that organization.  Almost all self-inflicted too.

I'm not an expert on drugs so I don't know what it might have been but what are the odds the drug he was trying to hide wasn't a PED but something recreational?

Good job on the part of the NBA for finding the one rogue guy taking PEDs. Problem solved.

Test everyone regularly. Suspend them a season for PEDS. Taking roids is pathetic. I lifted seriously got years . Disgusted me to see pansies cheating with that garbage. Let everyone smoke weed. No performance enhancing and everyone will be in a good mood.

For those asking "What's the big deal?" when it comes to PEDs in the NBA, let me ask another question.

Have you ever had the experience of watching your team come up against an impossibly-athletic player, say, in the Eastern Conference playoffs, and wonder if the outcome of the game or series was influenced by said player being on something? Do you just say "oh well" and move on? Or does it frustrate you that the outcomes in sports aren't determined by things like effort, skill, and teamwork, but rather by who's got the best doctor or who's willing to sacrifice more of their liver and kidney health in their old age?

Sport should not be this way. I'm not sure which I'm more outraged by: the utter lack of discussion of this in sports media, or the apathy on the part of fans.
