New Michael Beasley photos: No big deal

Boat_sleep_beasley_06_full_medium


Michael Beasley just can't stay out of trouble.  This time the pictures are from a Heat team fishing outing that took place on October 10th, and they show Beasley sleeping next to a table with open beer bottles and cans. The team, all witnesses from the event and even the boat's captain all deny that Beasley had anything to drink. 

"At no point did Michael consume or even touch any alcohol. The entire time he was accompanied by his advisor. It was my understanding that his advisor was trying to help get Michael out of the seclusion that is associated with a rehabilitation similar to what he had gone through," Captain Taft Sibley wrote in an e-mail to the team.

Beasley himself even came out and disputed that he had been drinking, explaining that he is taking his recovery seriously and enjoys his substance-free life. 

"[It was] the fishing trip gone bad or my bad, because it was after practice and I was tired," Beasley said after Saturday's practice at AmericanAirlines Arena. "That sun was beaming down; it was the hottest day in the world. . . . Fell asleep ain't the word.  I don't drink. I don't smoke anymore. My sobriety date is 8-6-09."

Beasley is not going to be diciplined by the team and is not expected to face any kind of action from the league, which would be a third-strike suspension for violating league substance-abuse policy.

Well...

I don’t think its that bad. I mean its not illegal and he just had a few too many drinks…He is a big time basketball player, he just had a few drinks.

well...

in the fact he’s a few months shy of 21 it’d be illegal technically.

for some weird reason though i believe him, i really think he is taking the sobriety thing seriously.

No....

if it turned out that Beasley was actually drinking the beers then he would be screwed; fined, suspended, all that.

He was there with the team and I’m sure they were ‘partying’, but everyone including the captain said Beasley had absolutely nothing to drink.

ok

well thats my bad, I forgot how old he was…The players will always back up their teammates. I really don’t know if he drank or not. I do think that people are making to big of a deal about it though. I mean he never hurt anyone and didn’t get into any trouble… Also, how did TMZ get those pics???
