Interesting way to take the test. Oden, has stage fright, giving a urine sample, so he submits his crap. I didn't believe it at first, and I didn't know that crap could be used for testing, but apparently it is testable. Behind the Blazers Locker Room Door: In Los Angeles Posted by Jason Quick, The Oregonian April 12, 2009 02:32AM Categories: Behind the Locker Room Door, Channing Frye, Greg Oden, Jerryd Bayless, Joel Przybilla, Nate McMillan, Sergio Rodriguez, Shavlik Randolph, Steve Blake, Travis Outlaw What a way to close out the road schedule. And I'm not referring in any way to what the Trail Blazers did on the court Saturday night, when they struggled, but willed themselves to an 87-72 victory over the Los Angeles Clippers at the Staples Center. Because out of sight from the 18,321 at the Staples Center and the legion of Blazers fans around the world, there was a mini-drama unfolding before the game behind the Blazers locker room door. When Nature doesn't call Saturday, you see, the NBA decided to spring random drug tests on four Blazers players: Greg Oden, Jerryd Bayless, Sergio Rodriguez and Joel Przybilla. NBA players are randomly tested anywhere from four to six times a season. Usually, the tests are administered on a game day, at the team's morning shootaround. Once a player has been notified and engages in the screening process, he is not to leave the supervision of a monitor until the monitor observes him providing an adequate sample of urine. As the players note, the event can take hours. Sometimes, having a man watch you urinate can be, well, uncomfortable. In locker room vernacular, it's called stage fright. Other times, nature just doesn't feel like calling. Read more For more of Jason Quick's Behind the Locker Room Door series, click here. The problem on Saturday was that the Blazers didn't have a morning shootaround because they arrived in Los Angeles in Saturday's early-morning hours after taking off from Portland immediately following their Friday night victory over the Lakers. So, the tests were to be administered at the arena. "This is the first time they have just showed up and did it,'' said Blazers athletic trainer Jay Jensen, who is handed the list of players to be tested. "Normally, they tell you ahead of time.'' For Oden, there was little drama ... for him. His monitor, on the other hand, might have a different story. You see, Oden doesn't like to go No. 1 in the presence of other people. "I get shy,'' he says. So in order to provide a sample, he has to go No. 2. "The poor guy,'' Oden said matter-of-factly. "I apologized to him.'' http://blog.oregonlive.com/behindblazersbeat/2009/04/behind_the_blazers_locker_room_12.html |
