http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2006/writ.../10/18/birdman/ That's a story that showed up on SI today... it's like 8 pages, but it's interesting. He was banned for 2 years because he tested positive for some sort of steroid.
I wish him the best, I was a big fan of his when he was with the Denver Nuggets (I wore a paper bag on my face during the Dunk Contest though) I love the energy he brings to any team. Hopefully he can come back strong and get his life on track.

Does that mean he can't dunk without his steroids? LOL! haha just kidding... BTW LMFAO at your avy MrJ!
It definitely wasn't marijuana, because Cliff Robinson got caught with it and I think he only was suspended for 2 or 3 games.

In that SI article though he mentioned that it made him lose a lot of weight, so it could also be crystal meth, which would keep you awake and prevent hunger for three to four days.

<div class="quote_poster">Brian Wrote</div><div class="quote_post">Dude, it's not marijuana. He wouldn't be suspended for 2 seasons for taking marijuana</div> Yep, or else Clif Robinson would have been banned for a decade
It's cocaine. It makes him lose weight/not be hungry. It's also less stigmatized than meth, but it's still got a stigma worthy of 2 years suspension.
<div class="quote_poster">Umair15 Wrote</div><div class="quote_post">I think it was marijuana.</div> Just think to yourself, why would the NBA suspend a player for 2 years over weed? It was definitely a chemical drug (something like Coke, Meth, E, Acid etc.).
