Basketball: German team suspends American for pot use

Associated Press

FRANKFURT, Germany — American forward Nate Fox was suspended for the season today from the German Bundesliga basketball league after a positive test for marijuana.

The 30-year-old was tested after his team, Bayer Giants Leverkusen, played the Skyliners Frankfurt on March 2.

"Cannabis consumption must not be seen as a minor thing," said league business manager Jan Pommer.
