</cite> <!-- end mod-article-title --> <!-- begin story body --> PHOENIX -- Phoenix Mercury star Diana Taurasi was cited for drunken driving a few hours after she helped lead her team to victory over the Seattle Storm.
An officer stopped Taurasi early Thursday for speeding, police spokesman Luis Samudio said. The officer smelled alcohol and gave the player several field sobriety tests, according to a police statement.
Taurasi was then driven to a mobile DUI van, where she gave a blood sample, then was cited and released. Authorities did not know her blood alcohol content.
The team said Friday that Taurasi notified the club immediately but would not comment further until it knows more of what happened.
Taurasi scored 22 points and blocked four shots in Wednesday night's 93-81 win over the Storm. The guard is the WNBA's leading fan vote-getter for the July 25 All-Star Game.


Getting an early start on the long weekend I see Diana:laugh:

Nothing wrong with downing a few drinks while driving. Diana is just the latest victim of the modern police state.
