Four Mt. Lebanon High School boys' lacrosse players were suspended from the team and an assistant coach permanently banned for violating the team's drug and alcohol policy in a hotel just outside Detroit last weekend.

The boys' high school team was playing in a tournament sponsored by the Midwest Scholastic Lacrosse Coaches Association in Bloomfield Township, Mich. The alleged violations occurred in a hotel room after the game. An assistant coach admitted he was present.

Boys' lacrosse is considered a club sport, and won't be under the purview of the school district until next year. The discipline was meted out by the Mt. Lebanon Lacrosse Association (MLLA), the group which oversees Mt. Lebanon lacrosse players from elementary to high school.
