BBL: Jason George’s home, car and gym searched | Sports

Now it becomes a criminal case!

Die Niners Chemnitz and her suspended drug pro Jason George (21). Now it came out: because he consumed crystal meth, the case had to be handed over to the Saxony State Criminal Police Office (LKA).

Thus, not only sports criminal law plays a role, but also civil law. Manager Steffen Herhold (45) to BILD: “Officials came to the office and from there we went to Jason’s apartment and the training hall. Both were searched. He also had to be there himself.”

The car was also examined. Chief Public Prosecutor Wolfgang Klein (63) to BILD: “A drug sniffer dog was also used.” The only good news for the loan from FC Bayern Munich: “No drugs or other suspicious substances were found.”

However, the search only took place on April 28, 26 days after the game against the Rostock Seawolves (69:71), after which the doping control was carried out. Herhold: “Everything is now in the hands of the public prosecutor. We can only wait.”

Whether the Niners will take legal action against the international is open. “That also depends on the verdict that will come at some point,” says Herhold. The Chemnitz boss now wants to focus completely on the playoffs.

In the quarter-finals, Chemnitz is just an outsider against Bonn, whether with or without George. But the fact is that a very good player is missing from the rotation. That cannot be caught. Herhold: “No one can be recommitted and the talents that we can now raise are not of Jason’s class.”

How exactly George ticks is difficult for Chemnitz to say. “He’s only been with us for a good four months,” said the manager. FC Bayern wanted him to gain match practice in Saxony. “The fact is that he is a huge talent. It’s not for nothing that Munich tied him up for the long term.”

But that should now be obsolete should he be banned for four years.
