The Games and Amusements Board (GAB) decided to reinstate the professional license of suspended Phoenix star Calvin Abueva on Friday, October 2, if certain conditions were followed.
GAB chairman Abraham Mitra said Abueva must attend a seminar on the Code of Conduct and Ethical Standards of a Professional Athlete and undergo a mandatory drug test before he can get his license back and see action again in the PBA.
“Calvin Abueva was remorseful in what he did and was sincere enough to accept his wrongdoings,” Mitra said in a statement.
“[He] 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 to the young fans.”
The 32-year-old star was slapped with an indefinite ban by the PBA during the 2019 PBA Commissioner’s Cup following separate incidents involving Ray Parks’ girlfriend Maika Rivera and former Talk ‘N Text import Terrence Jones.
GAB immediately followed PBA’s decision and revoked Abueva’s licence days after the suspension and investigated reports of Abueva’s participation in a “ligang-labas.”
Recently, Abueva was allowed by the PBA to participate in Phoenix’s practice inside the bubble in Clark, Pampanga, but remains barred from playing in the season restart.
Phoenix team officials, though, are hopeful that Abueva will get the go signal in time for the season kickoff on October 11.
