Briefly

Jelani McCoy, a two-year starter for UCLA who was suspended from the basketball team last month, reportedly flunked his most recent drug test and is not expected to rejoin the Bruins.

The Long Beach Press-Telegram, citing an unidentified source close to McCoy, reported yesterday that McCoy failed the mandatory drug test and informed UCLA coach Steve Lavin of the news Monday night.

McCoy, a 19-year-old junior center, was suspended indefinitely from the team, along with senior Kris Johnson, on Sept. 29, reportedly for violating the school's athletic department Drug Education and Testing program.

Both reportedly tested positive for marijuana use.

Johnson has continued to attend classes at UCLA and remains on track to be reinstated.
