Guard/forward |

May 1999: Arrested for marijuana possession for the first time and for driving
under the influence. Pleaded no contest. Had his driving license suspended
for six months, fined $400, received probation and was ordered to attend
a drug and alcohol awareness class. Apparently it didn't work. |

5th November 1999: Arrested for marijuana possession for the second time
after being found with a small amount of marijuana on him in a customs check.
Was not punished by law or by the NBA. Issued statement saying "this will
never happen again." |

|
6th May 2000: It happened again. Arrested for marijuana possession for the
third time after being pulled over. |
||
| February 2002:
Suspended for 5 games for violating league substance policy. Insists it was not another failed test, but he did not contact officials when required to do so. |
||
|
Early 2003: While playing for Panathinaikos, Buford was suspended for marijuana
violations. Do you see a pattern here? |

| Late 2006: Suspended by FIBA for 3 months for failing a drugs test. Again. | ||
