Midway through the season, Canzano appeared in the team locker room and produced a specimen bottle which Damon filled; an independent testing laboratory reported back the result that Stoudamire was indeed "uncontaminating". The incident rehabilitated Stoudamire in the minds of many Portland fans, who had come to regard him as one of the "Jailhouse Sports jacket". However, Stoudamire was widely criticized by the NBA Players Association for the drug test, who claimed that NBA players may only submit to such tests as presecribed by the league's Collective Bargaining Agreement.

Despite the criticism, no official action was taken by the union against Stoudamire for his participation in the test.
