Darius Milles tested positive for "weight loss" drug 

Post#1 » by TheOUTLAW » Sun Jul 20, 2008 6:43 pm

Are you kidding me?

Okay, this must be some type of enhancement drug because of all things that Darius Miles needs weight loss is not one of them.

Sources say that all 30 teams were notified this week by league memorandum that the drug which earned Portland Trail Blazers castoff Darius Miles a 10-game suspension to start next season -- if Miles can find a job -- is the appetite suppressant phentermine.

A weight-loss drug, basically.

Steep as a 10-game ban is, then, Miles' choice is nothing bound to scare teams away from signing him. Miles has tried out for at least four clubs already this month -- Boston, Dallas, New Jersey and Phoenix -- and is expected to command no more than a minimum salary anyway in his comeback from longstanding knee problems because the 26-year-old still has $18 million in salary coming from the Portland Trail Blazers


How prepostorous is that?

Miles had apparently ballooned up to 280 pounds. From the standpoint of generating interest around the league, if he was going to get caught with any drug, one that's intended to work him into playing shape beats a recreational substance, I guess.

I would've expected it, he's making a huge effort to loose weight, I guess he's gotta cheat.

That was my first thought when I read the thread title. Maybe we can just start slipping amphetamines into his burgers, that way he'll only eat one or two instead of one or two dozen.

Indeed. The best thing for him about taking off all the weight, is that he could put it all back on again!
