    I thought he was suspended for excessive use and abuse of the free arm bands, but I guess not.

    I was going to say, "wow, didn't see this coming from Miller," but then I caught myself. Who in the NBA hasn't smoked or done drugs in the past? It's just a matter of who still uses them and who can avoid failing the test two (or three... forget which) times.

    Really, it's a little ridiculous. The only drug they should test for is steroids. If teams think that drug use hampers a player's performance level, then the tests should be done internally and the results released within the team. I don't like how the NBA at large can do this.

    Yeah I'm surprised as well. I knew Miller smoked a lot of cigars, etc, and he's known as a country boy, but drugs?
