According to a report in the New York Times on Saturday, WNBA player Brittney Griner is being held in Russia after customs officers discovered hashish oil in her luggage at an airport near Moscow in February.

The Russian Federal Customs Service claimed on Saturday that it inspected luggage believed to belong to Griner and discovered vape cartridges containing cannabis-derived oil, a violation punishable by up to ten years in prison. While Griner's name was not revealed, the customs service recognized the detained individual as a member of the United States women's team but did not indicate the date of her detention.
