Dumas to Undergo Daily Drug Tests Under New Deal
Suns forward Richard Dumas will be subjected to daily drug and alcohol testing as part of a contract with the team. If any test is failed during a two week period, he forfeits pay for those two weeks. Dumas, who signed for about 1.3 million last summer and was suspended earlier for rehab noncompliance, is in Houston undergoing outpatient treatment. Suns president Jerry Colangelo says he must stay clean for the initial two weeks of the agreement for pay to begin.
