"Confused drug names..." Milwaukee forward Fortis suspends 25G for drug detection

Blog Article

Milwaukee Bucks forward Bobby Portis was disciplined.

Local media such as "ESPN" reported on the 21st (Korea Standard Time) that Fortis was suspended from 25 games for violating anti-doping policies.

Portis was disciplined for taking tramadol, which was designated as a prohibited drug. Tramadol is a drug used as a treatment to relieve severe pain.

The players are protesting that they took it by mistake. "Barbie made a very honest mistake," his agent Mark Bartelstein said in a statement.

According to him, Portis took the wrong medicine when his assistant made the mistake of confusing tramadol with a painkiller named "Toradol."

Unlike tramadol, toradol is a painkiller that has been approved for use. The agent claims that not only Fortis but also his teammates sometimes used it. Tramadol, on the other hand, is a banned drug that was newly added to the list last spring.

Bartelstein claimed that his client confused two drugs with similar names, which have similar effects, in the course of taking the drug to treat elbow pain that he's been suffering from since the fall or gin.

It is an unfair situation, but I have decided not to appeal the disciplinary action.

Both the player and the team lost this time. Fortis lost 2.85 million U.S. dollars in salary equivalent to 25 games due to the latest disciplinary action.

Milwaukee, which is ranked fifth in the Eastern Conference with 29 wins and 24 losses, lost a six-man average of 13.7 points and 8.3 rebounds per game at the end of the season. Portis is in the top three in both of the Six-man of the Year voting for the previous two seasons.

Portis is scheduled to return in early April with four games left in the regular season. 온라인카지노
