Birdman High on Something

New Orleans Hornets forward Chris Andersen was kicked out of the league for failing a drug test. He has to wait two years for reinstatement. It seems Andersen tested positive for a "drug of abuse" like meth or cocaine. Those are the drugs for which you get kicked out of the league on the first offense. Only on the fourth positive for steroids is that the penalty. Andersen never tested positive for steroids, and I don't think steroids are a big problem in the NBA. Pot is a huge problem in the NBA but the penalties are much less severe.
