The NBA said on Tuesday that center-forward Tristan Thompson of the Cleveland Cavaliers has been suspended without pay for 25 games following a positive test for performance-enhancing drugs.

Thompson tested positive for SARM-LGD-4033, a substance that functions as testosterone, and ibutamoren, which boosts human growth hormone (HGH), in violation of the NBA and Players’ Association’s anti-drug policy.

The Cleveland Cavaliers expressed their disappointment with the current revelations involving Tristan Thompson and their full support for the NBA/NBAPA Anti-Drug Programme. “Our team will be impacted by his absence from the game. We support Tristan and are standing behind him during this suspension.

The NBA Players’ Association and the league have a collective bargaining agreement that states that players may be randomly tested for urine up to four times in the regular season and twice in the offseason. (During the offseason, urine testing are limited to screening for steroids, performance-enhancing substances, diuretics, and masking agents.)

In addition, players may be subject to a maximum of two random HGH blood tests every season and one test during the summer. Additionally, organisations check if they have “reasonable cause” to think a player has broken the rules.

If a player violates the SPED policy, they will be suspended for 25 games on the first offence, 55 games on the second offence, and the league will terminate their contract on the third offence.
