Cone nakaabang sa desisyon ng FIBA kay Brownlee | Pilipino Star Ngayon

MANILA, Philippines — Nakaabang si Gilas Pilipinas interim head coach at Barangay Ginebra mentor Tim Cone sa magiging pasya ng International Basketball Federation (FIBA) kay natura­lized player Justin Brownlee.

Nabalot ng konrobersiya si Brownlee matapos magpositibo sa doping kung saan nakita sa urine sample nito ang carboxy-THC na mahahanay sa cannabis.

Malaki ang naging papel ni Brownlee para maibulsa ng Gilas Pilipinas ang gintong medalya sa Asian Games men’s basketball tournament sa Hangzhou, China.

“Just like what we kept saying to the players during the Asian Games, during the run up to whole Asian Games, we just kept telling guys we keep rolling punches, see how it evolves and see what happens and try to deal with it as it comes,” ani Cone sa panayam ng Sports Desk.

Iginiit ni Cone na hindi naman ito performance enhancing drugs na maaring makaapekto sa isang atleta.

 Dahil dito, nagpasya na ang pamunuan ng Gin Kings na palitan na muna si Brownlee.

Kinuha nito si dating Meralco import Tony Bishop para sa PBA Commissioner’s Cup na lalarga sa Nobyembre 5.
