MANILA<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 The Games and Amusements Board (GAB) on Friday decided to reinstate Calvin Abueva’s professional athlete license.<\/p>\n

GAB chairman Baham Mitra announced that the Phoenix forward can get his license back in a major breakthrough toward his possible return to action for the upcoming Philippine Basketball Association (PBA) bubble.<\/p>\n

The PBA first slapped Abueva with an indefinite suspension for his unsportsmanlike conduct to a fellow player and another player’s loved one during last year’s Commissioner’s Cup, leading to GAB putting his license on hold as well.<\/p>\n

“Calvin Abueva was remorseful in what he did and was sincere enough to accept his wrongdoings and asked for an apology for his actions with a promise not to repeat the same mistakes and set a good example to the audience especially the young fans,” Mitra said.<\/p>\n

Mitra added, though, that Abueva must undergo a seminar about the Code of Conduct and Ethical Standards of a Professional Athlete and a mandatory drug test.<\/p>\n

In a text message to the Philippine News Agency, GAB commissioner Eduard Trinidad, who met with Abueva and Fuel Masters interim coach Topex Robinson recently, revealed how Abueva can attend the seminar.<\/p>\n

“Ang unang napag-usapan namin, pupunta siya ng<\/em>\u00a0GAB office.\u00a0Doon siya mag<\/em>-seminar and medical (What we first agreed upon is that he will go to the GAB office. He will attend the seminar and undergo medical tests there),” Trinidad said.<\/p>\n

He added that Abueva can ask permission from the PBA to go to Makati City, from the league’s bubble in Angeles City in Pampanga, to attend the seminar.\u00a0<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
