Asiad basketball gold to stay in PH, POC chief says

The basketball gold of the 19th Asian Games will remain in the Philippines.

MANILA – The basketball gold of the 19th Asian Games will remain with the Philippines, Philippine Olympic Committee president Bambol Tolentino assured after Gilas Pilipinas main man Justin Brownlee failed a drugs test.

In Gilas’ case, it was only Brownlee who turned out to be positive for the banned Carboxy-THC, the Lausanne-based International Testing Agency said. Carboxy-THC is linked to cannabis use. “Remember, Brownlee was injured before kaya 'di sila nakalaro nung FIBA World Cup. When you're injured, lahat naman tayong tao, you are having a medication. 'Yun lang, hindi ko alam kung may nainom siyang konting bawal don or what,” he continued.
