Orlando Magic forward Hedo Turkoglu now sits down for a 20 game NBA suspension after he tested positive for primabolan (Metenolone), an anabolic steroid, known as a 'cutting agent'. Reportedly Turkoglu obtained the drug from a Turkish trainer, without knowing it was banned.
So he not only used steroids during testing season, but would also present himself as somewhat ignorant of the drugs he takes. It might be better to admit that you are an aging basketball star in a league with younger more athletic players, and that you are trying desperately to hang on.
It is interesting because basketball players, even in the NBA, are rare users of anabolic steroids.
Images over the years show, some development in Turkoglu. Shot putter, Nadzeya Ostapchuk, suspended from Olympic compeition shows much better development with the drug. ^^ Maybe the Magic could sign her to a contract.
