2230 UPDATE: According to ESPN, Taurasi's lawyer, Howard Jacobs, maintains her "A" sample has come back positive for a mild stimulant while playing in a pro basketball league overseas.
A Turkish lab released the info and she was provisionally suspended by the Turkish league she's playing in. Taurasi has requested that her "B" sample be tested.
Jacobs said the substance "was not a steroid or recreational drug." He is not identifying the substance in question.
"We're taking it one step at a time," Jacobs said. "I'd rather not say what it is at this stage, they've only tested the 'A' sample. Somehow it leaked over in Turkey. We're waiting for the 'B' sample to be tested. We've had some difficulty with getting a date so far, mostly because of the holidays. We're hoping to get it as soon as we can."
