Highlights include (for the test period 7/1/07 - 3/31/08):

_ Of the 31 pre-contract tests, 6 came back positive.

_ So far, punishment (in the form of suspension or release) has been due to nandrolone (2 cases), cocaine (2 cases), stanzolol (2 cases), oxycodone (1 case) and sample substitution (2 cases).

_ Of the positive test results, 73% were for marijuana, 16% were for steroids and 11% were for stimulants.
