SUSPENDED ANIMATION: NBA star Chris Webber, who just returned from an injury that's kept him out of action since the start of the season, was hit with an eight-game suspension by the league- five games for violating the league's substance-abuse policy, and three for admitting that he lied to a grand jury.
Now I'm not exactly Mr. Stop the Drug War, but isn't it a bit unfair that the NBA considers failing a drug test to be a greater violation, and worthy of a longer suspension, than lying under oath to a grand jury, especially one investigating whether he'd been paid while at Michigan?
