Several sources told ESPN's Chris Broussard on Thursday that NBA Commissioner David Stern was so angered by Mario Chalmers and Darrell Arthur's alleged involvement with marijuana and women at the rookie transition program that he made the call himself to remove them from their rooms at the Doral Arrowwood resort in Rye Brook, N.Y.

According to sources, Chalmers and Arthur were caught in Arthur's room at the Doral Arrowwood resort in Rye Brook when a smoke alarm went off Wednesday at about 2 a.m. Hotel management went to the room, but the players refused to allow them in.

The police were called to their room, which they searched, but neither marijuana nor drug paraphernalia was found. Representatives from the players' association were also on the scene by that time.

Chalmers and Arthur were permitted to remain at the resort and were believed to be planning to attend a kickoff address by Stern later Wednesday morning. But after being told of the violations shortly before beginning his speech, Stern immediately had the players removed from their rooms.

Several sources described Stern as being furious.

The commissioner's anger was apparently evident when he began his speech; he mentioned Chalmers and Arthur by name and told the 67 rookies in attendance that the two would be thrown out of the program and forced to attend the 2009 session.

maybe they didnt smoke but they still broke the rules by bringing girls in the room.

Hey at least no weed was found, now we can move on, NBA stars caught with women, a lot worse could have happened...

Maybe it still had the smell of it.

That's what happens if you don't share or invite the hotel security when you smoke out.puff puff give.

WOW!!!!

All I got to say is that hopefully they learn their lesson.

The following source probably explains the absence of drugs in the room. Or do you think the Marijuana fragrants might be perfume and someone with an ongoing bowel problem was in the bathroom doing the flushing.

I am not naive, but at a function that discuss conduct issues and its impact on the business of professional basketball, what idiots would use that occasion for such nonsense. The League worked hard to overcome a drug image from the 70s & 80s, so although I haven't read about the suspensions yet, but during the slow season with little news to divert attention, these idiots could be sitting for a while when the season starts.

Sources: Stern angered by rookies' hotel room incident
By Chris Broussard


According to sources, Chalmers and Arthur were caught in Arthur's room at the Doral Arrowwood resort in Rye Brook when a smoke alarm went off Wednesday at about 2 a.m. Hotel management went to the room, but the players refused to allow them in.

Management then left to get security, which used its own key to enter the room minutes later. Once inside, security found Chalmers, Arthur and at least two women. There was a strong stench of marijuana in the room, and one person was in the bathroom with the door locked, repeatedly flushing the toilet, sources said.

Did anyone think that damn maybe they were smoking a cigarrette?????? thats why the alarm went off if there were no drugs found..

they wouldnt need to be hiding a cigerette or flushing the toilet so many times

LOL

if there was no weed found whatsoever then they couldn't have been smoking it... obviously police aren't stupid they searched the whole room searched the player and didn't find anything maybe it went off because they turned on a match LOL idk just a thought... but if there was no weed found then there was no weed involved... proof needs to be seen.

Maybe not in this post, but it's all over the wire reports. Of course the media has gotten things wrong before. Here's the short version. They would not open the door and hotel security went back and to get what they had to get to let themselves in. A woman was locked in the bathroom flushihg the toilet over and over.
