Barangay Ginebra head coach Tim Cone on Friday night admitted that they were surprised by the move of the International Testing Agency (ITA) to flag Justin Brownlee due to prohibited substances.

In an interview aired over CNN Philippines’ Sports Desk, Cone said the news “blew their minds” when they heard it.

Cone coached his longtime Ginebra import Brownlee and the rest of Gilas Pilipinas in the Hangzhou Asian Games.“It’s there, it’s done. Justin was shocked by it as well, but it’s there. It’s done, we can’t bring it back,” the coach said. Cone also reiterated that the Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas and the San Miguel Group are giving Brownlee the support to possibly shorten or remove the suspension.“I heard that there might be a decision by Tuesday or Wednesday next week. But I’m not nearly 100% sure about that,” the multi-titled PBA coach said.
