Report: Diana Taurasi tests positive for banned substance
Reports are coming out that former UConn star Diana Taurasi has tested positive for a banned substance.
Her lawyer Howard Jacobs told the Associated Press that she tested positive for a mild stimulant but was not a steroid or recreational drug.
There's not much more information right now. On a previous blog entry, I mentioned that Taurasi missed a game for her European team Fenerbahce and it seemed a bit odd especially when I heard that she returned home to California. It was later reported that she had the flu.
Taurasi was leading the EuroLeague with a 24.6 scoring average before heading home and missing the last three games for the Istanbul, Turkey squad. She was the WNBA's leading scorer with an average of 22.6 points per game for the Phoenix Mercury, the fourth time in the last five years she led the league in scoring.
