I thought the players association did rush the appeal? Where have you heard otherwise?
And, no, that's not proof that he wasn't trying to mask pot. You're assuming he knew the rules on pot, knew the rules on diuretics and understood the consequences. Maybe you're right but unless you've come across something new, we're still in the dark.
It's also my understanding (and I know very little about this) that had he been taking a PED traces of it would have still shown up during the more involved testing that would have been done on the B sample yet nothing else was found.
I agree with all this. What puzzles me is how long the appeal process is taking. The NBPA can expedite two cases per year and I understand Ayton is one of this.
I haven't heard anything new about John Collins appeal for a 25 game suspension.
