35 named in federal drug case
http://espn.go.com/mens-college-bask...eral-drug-case
WICHITA, Kan. -- Nearly three dozen people were indicted Thursday for what federal prosecutors say was a ring that supplied about $17 million worth of "high-grade" drugs to customers, including marijuana to members of last year's University of Kansas basketball team. The U.S. Attorney's office for Kansas said the 101-count indictment involves 35 defendants, most of them from Kansas. The defendants supplied marijuana and cocaine to residents in Johnson and Douglas counties, prosecutors said. Nearly three dozen people were indicted Thursday for what federal prosecutors say was a ring that supplied about $17 million worth of "high-grade" drugs to customers, including marijuana to members of last year's University of Kansas basketball team. At a hearing last month, assistant U.S. attorney Terra Moorhead said one of the defendants, a 32-year-old Overland Park man, supplied marijuana to multiple members of the Jayhawks' 2010-11 basketball squad. The university would not comment on the case then and officials with the school did not immediately return a phone message seeking comment Thursday. The university said then that its internal drug-testing policy requires all freshman or new transfer student athletes to take a drug test "within a reasonable amount of time" after arriving on campus. All teams that qualify for postseason play also may be subject to testing. The indictment stemmed from an original federal complaint filed in June that accused 25 people and included only one count. The new charges include conspiracy to possess and distribute more than 5 kilograms of cocaine and 1,000 kilos of marijuana, conspiracy to commit money laundering and unlawful possession of firearms. In announcing the indictment Thursday, the U.S. Attorney's office said in a release that two Lawrence residents, Los Rovell Dahda, 30, and Chad Eugene Bauman, 33, "made millions" leading the drug ring. Lawyers listed in online court records as representing Dahda and Bauman did not immediately return phone messages left Thursday evening. Prosecutors are seeking additional penalties for several of the defendants for distributing drugs within 1,000 feet of high schools, a middle school and Haskell Indian Nations University in Lawrence from about 2005 to 2012. They're also asking a judge to order the forfeiture of $16.9 million in cash and real estate they allege was gained from the scheme. Copyright 2012 by The Associated Press |

I saw it on ESPN this morning, so I assumed it had been released elsewhere hours earlier and that some MU fan had already posted a thread here.... what took so long?

This sentence had to be included twice, to make sure nobody missed it.

But then they call out the 2010/2011 team. Very confusing article, but at least the agenda is clear. |

Yael Abouhalkah of The KC Star wrote a story about how this would be the end of the KU basketball program for a long time. He hates everything Kansas, so it was no surprise. The story had no legs and it died.
Basketball players smoking pot? The next thing he'll write about is that professional wrestling is fixed and how he's breaking the story. |
