US Female Pro Basketball Star Arrested Crossing Russian Border With Drugs

This story describes the arrest and some things about the aftermath of a US pro athlete caught bringing illegal drugs into Russia. We don't really know anything about the incident other than  speculation about what might be necessary to allow the woman's return to the US.

At the same time we should keep in mind the recent unpleasantness experienced by Maria Butina, a Siberian gun enthusiast who spent 18 months in US solitary confinement after being accused of prostitution and espionage before bargaining to a plea as an unregistered foreign agent. No drugs were said to be involved.
