Josh Howard: This Is The NBA On Drugs
April 25th, 2008 | Posted in Celebrity Gossip, Sports | Print This Article
NBA All-Star Josh Howard of the Dallas Mavericks has admitted to his drug use.
During an interview on the Michael Irvin Show on 103.3 in Dallas, the basketball player was asked flat out if he smoked marijuana.
He replied, “Yeah, but only in the offseason. I don’t let it affect basketball.”
Howard also said that “a lot of people have that problem” and speculated that most of the players in the league “have to have it.”
He added, “What can I say? If you can do it and it’s not affecting your everyday life, why stop? If I’m able to do it, but not while I play basketball, it lets you know I can quit whenever.”
If a NBA player tests positive for marijuana, he is placed in a drug counseling program. A second violation results in a $25,000 fine. Subsequent violations result in incremental five-game suspensions. Howard better get his checkbook ready!
