Shabu rocks PBA anew.
(From Philippine Daily Inquirer)
Byline: Marc Anthony Reyes
A SECOND straight drug scandal rocked the PBA last night after the pro league announced Ginebra's Alex Crisano has been found positive for shabu.
The burly, heavily tattooed Barangay Ginebra slotman was immediately slapped an indefinite suspension.
The 6-foot-7 Crisano added to the list of PBA players who had taken banned substance.
The announcement came five days after the league bared Jimwell Torion was found to have also used shabu after a game in Cebu.
Commissioner Noli Eala, visibly irked and shaken, said the league plans to expand the scope of the drug testing wherein all eight urine sample taken during regular games will be checked for shabu/Ecstasy and marijuana.
