Barangay Ginebra San Miguel is already bracing for the worst when it comes to Justin Brownlee’s situation.
The Gilas Pilipinas hero’s status with the Gin Kings in the incoming Commissioner’s Cup is currently in jeopardy after the multiple-time PBA champion failed a doping test after the 19th Asian Games.“Para ready kami. It’s hard to be caught blind na hindi namin kung what’s happening,” said team governor Alfrancis Chua during Tuesday’s PBA pre-season press conference in Manila on Tuesday.
“So as of now, naghahanap kami ng replacement just in case, hindi natin alam kung too late na. Kasi we’re just gonna wait, then binagsak na samin yung bomba, mawawalan kami ng import.” Chua said that Ginebra is taking this approach since he and their camp are still unaware of what will happen with Brownlee.For him, the safest way to go is to remain patient with what the International Testing Agency’s decision will be, which is why they are not thinking of further contesting the initial findings.
“Kung ako ang tatanungin, hindi ko na ico-contest. Kami, tahimik na lang kami. Sakin, kung may problema tayo kunyari, kinwestyon kita tapos may ebidensya ka pala, edi mas mabigat ang hatol nila sa’kin.”This also means that as long as there is no final judgment, the more likely it is that he will not suit up Ginebra’s uniform in the meantime.
