Jacob Grandison’s face appears on a video call from Los Angeles. Beside him is Hannu Kalkas, a Helsinki lawyer and Grandison’s assistant.
The Finnish basketball player failed a doping test during the European Championship, but the reason was ADHD medication, according to Helsingin Sanomat. The case was followed by secrecy and a fierce dispute over what went wrong.
Kalkas introduces himself on his law firm’s website with a description built around Ostrobothnian directness: some people like him very much, while others do not like him at all. The newspaper says it investigated who mishandled the case.
