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.
According to Nada, George, who was regarded as one of the greatest talents in German basketball, was found to have used the substances methylenedioxymethamfetamine (a category of narcotic drugs) and methamfetamine (also known as crystal meth) in a competition test. However, there had been no intentional violation of the German Basketball Federation's anti-doping rules.
