Two-time national basketball player Jason George has been banned for two years and four months for an anti-doping rule violation. The wing player, who was on loan from FC Bayern Munich to the Niners Chemnitz at the time, was found to have tested abnormal during match and training tests by the National Anti Doping Agency (Nada) at the end of April 2023.
"I sincerely thank everyone involved in this process," George (23) was quoted as saying in the Nada statement. "Although my ego was initially in denial and broken, I can confirm that this incident was the greatest gift of my life. For the first time, I had the time to process unprocessed situations from my life and career and thus heal long-lasting wounds."
