Doping trouble! Eight-year ban for basketball player
Basketball player Christopher Ferguson has once again violated anti-doping rules and has therefore been handed an eight-year ban, according to an announcement by the Austrian Anti-Doping Commission (ÖADR) on Wednesday.
The US-American had refused to give a urine sample during a doping test on October 9th while playing for Fürstenfeld. The length of the ban was based on the fact that Ferguson had already served a four-year doping ban.
Positive for cocaine and ecstasy
The now 35-year-old had already tested positive for cocaine and ecstasy as a BC Vienna player in 2017 and was banned for four years. He got a second chance with St. Pölten in 2021, then played for Wels and finally for Fürstenfeld. The Styrians parted ways with Ferguson in October, days after the renewed incident. The ban for the repeat offender, according to the ÖADR, ends on December 8, 2032.
