Joakim Noah Suspended 20 Games For Violating Anti-Drug Program

[RealGM Wiretap]

Joakim Noah has been suspended 20 games for violating the NBA's anti-drug program.

Noah tested positive for an over-the-counter supplement that is prohibited under the outgoing Collective Bargaining Agreement.

Noah hadn’t “knowingly or willingly” violated the policy and cooperated fully with the league’s probe, league sources said.

 

Noah's suspension will begin once he's cleared to play after undergoing surgery on his left knee on Feb. 27th.

What if they cleared him to play now and he served his suspension while still being secretly injured?

He has been seen running in his workouts. There is no way to prove he isn't getting away with a game or two but he was pretty close.

With the way he's playing, why even bother?

That would be the smart thing to do but you know the Knicks....
