Richardson s positive Lesting constitutes a third offence under the Aba s anti drug policy put into effect Jan. I 1984.

It would be inaccurate to describe the Dis qualification As a two year suspension since reinstatement is not automatic Stern said. In order for a player to be reinstated he must receive the separate approvals of both the Aba and the players association and in would be pure conjecture to speculate about the outcome of an application that cannot be made for at least two years.
