Drew s Salt Lake Ctty attorney, says he expects a league decision on Drew s NBA eligibility early this coming yyeek And he thinks Drew s going to get permission to return basically because he thinks thf league w ill not be able to substantiate a third instance of drug usage that would ban Drew from the league The Drew case has been dragging ori for more than three weeks now, since the Bullets expressed an interest in the veteran The reason for the delay is that Rasmussen has had to respond to several NBA requests for further documentation of Drew's stay at Highland Ridge Hospital last summer and of his drug tests while playing with the CBA's Wyoming Wildcatters.

Gary Bettman. Theres nothing left to juggle, theres nothing left to discover, said Rasmussen Its time to make a decithink yyere right down to the wire now I wouldnt be surprised if we had one by Monday, Tuesday, or I sion Wednesday" The reason that Rasmussen is. as he says, "cautiously optimistic" is that the league wouldn't be inclined to continue collecting documentation if it was predisposed to bar Drew from the league under the agreement. If the league is still gathering information. then perhaps it doesnt have any evidence of a third encounter with drugs on Drew's part in the 13 months since he was cut by the Jazz. On the other hand, permitting the return of Drew just a week after the rapid hospital releases of Davis and Richardson may give the public the mnagQ IflUR AIR HAMMER COR5997 wssHE0 ChlMl 50Q0 blow LIBMAN j WTH spray POLY ANGLED $4017 AIR BROOM Quality Pre $7,500 00 with built-i- CHECK THESE Wvrt, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Daily r U 274 To Part C'ty To SaH Lake ' drill sender G 7.000 R P M Paper size 3CV s 9 - mnmC- ' 38I JVSl- FREE Holier S SANDER Model Open for Display To t2t.M R n JITTER-DU- SAMPLE PRICES: T DRILL-SANDE- 'High speed 39 ' MATE MOP I Evanston RCO. per minute KIT FIRST I !
