Anyone remember Len Bias?
That was due to freebasing, wasn’t it?
Yes, we remember Len Bias — because it was such a shocking and rare occurrence. Not anymore.
Yes, that was an outlier in that he was drafted by the Celtics, and he had an event triggered by drug usage. It is not the rare occassional heart or blood clot issues, it is rampant.

What Is the History of the Len Bias Law?
Leonard (or Len) Bias was a college basketball player for the University of Maryland. He was the second overall pick for the Boston Celtics in the 1986 NBA draft. Two days after the draft, Bias died from complications of a cocaine overdose. The cocaine was remarkably pure, making it very strong. That suggested to prosecutors that the cocaine came from a high-level drug dealer.
After Bias’s death, the U.S. House of Representatives authored anti-drug legislation – The Anti-Drug Abuse Act of 1986. The legislation demanded a life sentence for people who distributed drugs that resulted in an overdose death. This particular provision of the law came to be called the “Len Bias Law.”
