Catman Forever Posted August 6, 2009 Report Posted August 6, 2009 You'll find out shortly which Magic player failed a drug test and will be suspended for the first 10 games (elevated testosterone levels). Someone you wouldn't suspect. Bummer. ***EDITED AND CONFIRMED**** quote: Orlando Magic All-Star Rashard Lewis will be suspended for the first 10 games of next season because he has tested positive for a testosterone-producing steroid, the Orlando Sentinel has learned. According to league sources, Lewis was taking nutritional supplements at the end of last season that unknowing to him contained a substance commonly known as DHEA (Dehydroepiandrosterone) -- a chemical compound made naturally in the body but also found in numerous over-the-counter supplements at nutritional stores. The substance is banned by most sports leagues, including the NBA. Tony Dutt, Lewis' agent, said: "We're just getting word of some things, so at this point I don't want to make a comment on it." "It's our understanding it was a vitamin supplement." One source said he believed Lewis's positive test was "an honest mistake." "There are more than 100 banned substances on the league's list and athletes have to watch everything they take from common cold medications to vitamins to supplements," the source said.
