    Selective Androgen Receptor Modulator LGD-4033 was not banned by the current Collective Bargaining Agreement when it was enacted.

    The next CBA will offer a new challenge policy for failed drug tests.

    Perhaps Joakim Noah, whom the NBA suspended 20 games, just tested positively at the wrong time.

    SARM LGD-4033 (Ligandrol) was added to the banned list after the current CBA was signed in 2011. The drug is also banned by the next CBA, which will take effect July 1.

    But the next CBA would also allow Noah an opportunity to contest his suspension – which his union says he would have done successfully..
