Let's look into the past and see how many players have been popped for something outside of PEDs.

So the last 25 game bans, Jody Meeks in 18 for PEDs.

Wilson Chandler, PEDs, 25 games.

John Collins, 25 games for PEDs, a peptide.

DeAndre Ayton tested positive for a diuretic.

Some say it was PEDs and they were trying to wash it through.

Bobby Portis, 25 games for a pain medicine.

And then Paul George with this very...

Tristan Thompson, too, but ambiguously, you know, mental health medicine, whatever that may be.

Whatever happened to the Al Jazeera report with Peyton Manning's wife?

getting stuff, and then all of a sudden his neck was okay, they won a Super Bowl, and then it kind of disappeared.

Was he wrong there?

Was he not wrong?

The league apparently looked at DeAndre Ayton's and believed that there was no malicious intent there to bypass the rules.

There was zero trace of any PED.

But because he had a diuretic in his system that flushed him down.

enforcing the law.

The diuretic that he tested positive for is known to help flush systems out, but that's the last thing I'm seeing on that.

I guess Aaron Ekblad got pinched for this, and he was a player that I guess for his roster was considered older, even though he's actually not an old man, but had been struggling through injuries, big price tag, wanted to be there for his team, and then found some consistent form, and then we get the positive result, and you realize, oh, maybe that's how he found it.

I look at Paul George, I say that guy's body is broken by a long career he's trying to live up to a contract.
