Come on -- what else are they supposed to say? And if the NBPA has TWO protests a year, and if they were willing to spend ONE OF THE TWO on this case -- it seems clear that there are some kind of extenuating circumstances at play.
They are not supposed to say they are disappointed in Ayton’s character and that he has betrayed the values of the organization if they think there was any chance this was an innocent mistake.
Agreed--Jones's response is very telling here.
Yeah. If you thought there was any chance it was a mistake, the statement would read more like 'we are disappointed by the news' or 'disappointed in the test results.' You don't say Ayton f*** up in a press release if you don't believe it.
I don't know about all of this. Clutchpoints is saying that after a thorough investigation it was found that the ingestion was unintentional. And I would not think that the NBPA would support a case on grounds it knows to be false. It weakens them in future cases and perhaps even the next CBA negotiations.

If I had to guess, Ayton was trying to train and got an outside trainer who fed him stuff.

This rmwould raise new questions about the Suns' new training staff. Why would he go outside of these guys were good?
From what I can tell, this would not satisfy the threshold of "unintentional consumption".

Does that bitch need to die in order for the curse to go away?

You’ll find removing a dead woman’s spell troublesome.

The 5 Best Ways to Remove A Hex

The Easiest Way to Break a Curse or Hex (and Keep It Broken!)
https://exemplore.com/wicca-witchcraft/ ... e-beginner

Simple Curse-Breaking Spell

Items needed:

The target (the item, person, or place that has been cursed).
A tub of water large enough to submerge and wash the target (or enough water to wash down the area if a location was cursed).
Enough sea salt so the water-to-salt ratio is about 100:1. If you fill the tub with about 100 cups of water, then a cup of salt should suffice. If you only need a cup of water to immerse a small object, then two teaspoons of salt will do. When in doubt, it's better to use too much salt than too little.
Best times to perform this ritual: During a new moon, on a Thursday, at noon or at midnight, at dawn or at dusk (or at any time associated with transitions).

Fill the tub with water. The temperature should be comfortable for a long soak if the target is a living thing.

Open and hold up the container of sea salt.

Clear your mind and say the following words while concentrating on what they mean to you. Say them slowly, confidently, and meditatively: "In the names of my ancestors, my gods, and myself, I call upon thee, oh creatures of Earth and Water. Come forth, cleanse [name of target] of all evil and alien magicks, and restore [them, me, it] to balance and health. By our wills combined, so mote it be."

Pour the salt into the water.

Keeping your mind in that calm and meditative state, submerge or wash the target slowly. If you are the target, get in the tub and simply lay back and soak. Relax. Let everything slip away. If you are cleansing an object or a location, you will have to make sure the water touches every inch of its surface.

Do this for at least ten minutes. When you are done, drain the water away and rinse it off the target. It is absolutely necessary that all of the saltwater is washed off of the target!

When you are done, say the following in the same way you did step 3: "I thank thee, oh creatures of Earth and Water, in the name of myself, my gods, and my ancestors. Be released to your homes, doing no harm on your way, and return to me with glad hearts when next you are summoned. By our wills combined, so mote it be."

The downside of this is cleansing that it is limited in its scope and power and that it may not be able to defeat a more powerful curse. If this is true, seek a professional to help you, because you won't be able to deal with it without real training.

Lady, it’s Twitter... that is all this thing is about!!

Seriously, it is true that we are lacking many details, but still, it’s a position he put himself in, either by trying to cheat, or by lacking the discipline to watch every single thing he puts on his body, he is not a regular guy, he is a professional athlete!!!

Also, the organization response, could go from accepting some sort of request from the League about enforcing the rule in order to start talking about a reduced penalty, to some sort of discipline to the guy because he deliberately used the services (and products, like the tests showed) of some external advisors not sanctioned by the team, either by omission or direct order no to.

It is impossible for the suspension to be "rescinded" if it takes a week or more even with fast-tracking it through arbitration.

If no other substance found, 10-15 games can be fair to me.
