In March 2007, it was revealed Harvey was one of three Australian sportsmen whose conversations with a convicted drug dealer were recorded by police phone taps during operation Remuda in 2003.[1] It was revealed Harvey had talked about his use of the drug ecstasy.[1] Due to the potential damage to the reputation of the league, the NBL is deciding how to deal with Harvey, who has made full disclosure of his past actions.[2]
