Phoenix Mercury's Diana Taurasi test positive for banned substance? Review/Thoughts (News Story)

review Phoenix Mercury's Diana Taurasi test positive for banned substance


WNBA standout and former UConn star Diana Taurasi tested positive for modafinil while playing in a professional women's league in Turkey, the country's basketball federation said.

Neither her lawyer nor her team, Fenerbahce, would confirm that Taurasi tested positive for the stimulant, which has been involved in several major doping cases, including that of U.S. sprinter Kelli White.

The Turkish basketball federation said the substance in Diana Taurasi's positive test was modafinil, which is used to counter excessive sleepiness.
Modafinil is used to counter excessive sleepiness due to narcolepsy, shift-work sleep disorder or sleep apnea.

Taurasi has been provisionally suspended pending the testing of her "B" sample, sometime early next month. She has already missed three games with Fenerbahce. The team's website said she and another player were asked to submit to a test on Nov. 13, following the game against Istanbul. It said they were selected as a result of a draw. The other player tested negative.

Fenerbahce said Taurasi was upset that the doping claims broke before the testing process was finalized.

If the "B" sample comes back positive, it could put her 2012 Olympics status with the U.S. national basketball team in jeopardy. She has helped the team win gold medals at the past two Olympics and was the leading scorer at the women's world championships, which the Americans won in early October.

I don't have a problem with it if the substance is jizz.
