The USA Today reports that Orland Magic forward Rashard Lewis sill sit 10 games in 2009-10 season due to testing positive for a banned substance. It is believed the substance was 'testosterone' possibly due to DHEA in a nutritional supplement
The Orlando Sentinel, citing league sources, reports that substance is testosterone, which showed up from nutritional substances Lewis said he took not knowing they contained DHEA (Dehydroepiandrosterone). That is a chemical compound naturally occurring in the body but also found in over-the-counter supplements at nutritional stores.
Lewis released a statement, saying he took "full responsibility for the situation and accept the corresponding penalty."
He said toward the end of last season, "I took an over-the-counter supplement which at the time I did not realize included a substance banned by the NBA."
DHEA -- a testosterone precursor -- usually doesn't raise testosterone level enough to matter' however the drug can throw a positive into a urine test.
The NBA has been remarkably free of steroids and PEDs, either because the drugs have not permeated the NBA culture,or because the steroid testing is weak. This may be only the 4th or 5th steroids-related NBA suspension in history.
It might be rare that NBA players are getting caught, but I suspect the NBA has a serious steroid problem.

Please - just be logical. The NBA in the pre-steroid era featured extremely tall, rail-thin athletes. Then, with the infusion of money and PEDS, the players, who go through bicycle-racing levels of muscle stress and exertion every game, became ripped and massive - Alonzo Mourning, David Robinson, Karl Malone, Charles Oakley, now Blake Griffin. I claim no insider status, I have no investment in any of this, but I think the NBA is engaged in a criminal conspiracy to hide IPEDs, and that includes the owners, the sainted Steve Nash, the writers.
"Tennis roids" should be made ATP commissioner.

Too bad for Lewis, It could cause his team for positioning in the playoffs if the team did not do well in the first ten games that Lewis is suspended..

This just sounds a little too weird. For starters, one does not "accidentally" take steroids. Either he does or he is the most woefully uncareful and clumsy oaf in the history of being a human being. And to just suddenly happen out of the blue? Maybe he was curious, or maybe he just overshot what he's been doing. At this rate, who knows, but mark my words, foul play has it's hands in everything.
