The Birdman of New Orleans.: In 2006 Chris Andersen was kicked out of the league for violating the drug policy. Its now two years later, and he's applying to be reinstated.

Was he was kicked out of the league for using "a drug of abuse" one time? That's a harsher punishment than a surgeon would face.

Tarpley's application was denied and he sued the NBA last September in federal court in Houston claiming the league violated the Americans with Disabilities Act by refusing to reinstate him. Wow that seems so long ago. I can't believe it's still going on in some way. Considering how much goes into trying to be reinstated, it's hard to believe there's no appeal process.
