Diana Taurasi Link Roundup: No clarity likely until second test

In keeping with SB Nation’s innovative use of social media in reshaping sports journalism, our vision is a women's basketball site that goes beyond merely providing game reports; instead, we want to capture the narratives that fuel our passion for the game, while maintaining the critical stance that helps us understand the game better.

When petrel originally posted the link to Turkish newspaper Milliyet's report of Diana Taurasi testing positive for drugs yesterday morning, I think he took the right approach: skepticism.

But from that leak, we have a WNBA off-season story that was on ESPN and everything.

Now after Taurasi's lawyer said in a statement last night the test would be delayed, Turkish newspaper Takvim is reporting that the second test will take place on January 2.

And with everyone including the AP likely to remain behind the Turkish papers on this matter, it's clear that the facts are more likely to get lost in translation before the clarity of that second test is brought to light.

"He substance cocaine"
NO OFFICIAL EXPLANATION
Performance and personality as a Taurasi'nin intentionally doping Yellow-Alex who does not believe management will do in this matter, while closely following the investigation of how the research is taken. While the material claimed to be cocaine in the test, not yet made the official release.
