[Summary] => If there are PBA players indeed taking or still taking illegal drugs, they better clean up or they won’t get playing license from the Games and Amusement Board (GAB).
GAB chairman Eduardo Villanueva told The STAR they’ll pursue their program against illegal drugs despite the controversy that reached the Senate halls regarding a score of PBA players flunking the drug test last year.

[Title] => Comish cracks whip
[Summary] => Philippine Basketball Association (PBA) commissioner Noli Eala is out to quash speculation that the league is drug-infested. He’s ordered regular random testing for players–something not even the National Basketball Association (NBA) does. That means at any time, without warning, a player may be called to produce a urine sample before a game. If he tests positive, the league will impose sanctions immediately–regardless of the result of a retest.

[Title] => Dress up or pay up
[Summary] => There’s not single punch thrown, a kick dealt or a fracas erupting that would disrupt a game in the two-week-old 2003 Philippine Basketball Association season.
