Here’s an interesting development in the drug-testing arena. Trail Blazers guard Damon Stoudamire took a drug test for a Portland newspaper columnist last Friday in an attempt to clear his name, the Oregonian reported. As coach Maurice Cheeks held open the bathroom door, Stoudamire urinated in a cup, fulfilling an agreement he made five months ago with columnist John Canzano. “I did it because I have nothing to hide,” Stoudamire said. “I didn’t know you were going to test me [Friday]. You surprised me.” Stoudamire, who reportedly tested negative for five different drugs, acknowledged he expects to “catch hell” from the NBA Players Association over the unapproved test. “I hope they understand . . . I did it because I had to do it for me.”
