PHOENIX -- The Phoenix Mercury have suspended guard Diana Taurasi for two games without pay after she was cited on drunk-driving related charges. In a release Thursday, the team said Taurasi was suspended "for conduct detrimental to the team." Taurasi faces three drunk-driving related charges, including extreme DUI, for a July 2 incident in which she also was cited for speeding. The 27-year-old guard was cited hours after she scored 22 points in the Mercury's 93-81 victory over the Seattle Storm. A Phoenix police report released Tuesday shows Taurasi's blood-alcohol level was 0.17 percent, more than twice the Arizona legal limit of 0.08 percent.Taurasi pleaded not guilty to the DUI charges and not responsible to the speeding citation.
.17 is pretty impressive, even for a dyke. Clearly this chick learned how to party at UConn. No doubt her and Gino went shot for shot a few times in her career. I bet she was hitting on the officers too. I guess the WNBA has some use if it trains its athletes to handle alcohol well. Next up: Maya Moore gets pulled over with a full pound of cocaine in here front seat. Great story.
