"It was the unanimous decision of the UAAP board that it will be the school officials of both Ateneo and Adamson who will take action and reprimand both (Wesley) Gonzales and (Mark) Abadia," said UAAP president Jose Capistrano Jr. of host Ateneo.
The board has also decided to start drug testing only after the government has come up with a standard procedure concerning the implementing rules and guidelines.
Capistrano, meanwhile, said the UAAP will conduct series of talks and discussions regarding the dangers of drugs in all campuses of the participating eight schools.
The National Olympic Academy of the Philippines, where Capistrano is executive director, will initiate the talks with sports medicine expert Dr. Jose Raul Canlas and former veteran internationalist Akiko Thomson as speakers.
