He isn't suspended as of now, but that may change.

Hopefully the lack of O'Neal is a good sign.
Actually, hopefully it's all false and buchtelgrad04 is just lying.

Same Here. I was in a minor sport in the early 90's, with no scholarship money. The Athletic Dept. would pull me in every once in a while to pee in a cup (I think twice in four years). They would usually call two days before and tell you to be at French Field House at 7am the following day, or the day after.
I was a good boy, so I didn't have anything to worry about. A couple of my teamates got busted for Pot. The first positive was coaches discretion (usually a very long talking to). Second positive was mandatory suspension. If they caught you once, you would be put into heavy rotation. They've probably updated their policies since 1995.
Although this is not a funny topic, I do have a funny story.
When I was getting tested, an O-Lineman was at the urinal next to me. After about 30 minutes of Bashful bladder, he had to move into a stall to do double duty in order to provide his specimin. Trainers were right in front of the stall, with the door open laughing their asses off.

Nothing at all? Cardiovascular fitness and smoking don't exactly go hand in hand.
Consider the thought process that is involved with making that type of decision. There are some athletes that won't even touch "unhealthy" food for various performance reasons. Yet here is a starter on a team trying to redeem it's failures over the past two seasons lighting it up. Not exactly a championship mindset.

Disagree with it not effecting performance. Now, I'll admit it doesn't effect an athlete to the point of not being able to compete, look at say, Ricky Williams.. he's a balls-to-the wall stoner, and he's still a damn good tailback.
But to say it doesn't effect performance so long as your not smoking on gamedays is incorrect IMO.. take it from a former athlete/smoker.

So the punishment is a sliding scale based on how important the player is? I thought we were supposed to be different?
