"Orlando Magic forward Rashard Lewis tested positive for an elevated testosterone level and was suspended Thursday for 10 games. Lewis said in a statement that he took an over-the-counter supplement late last season that included a substance he did not realize was banned by the NBA. "First and foremost I take full responsibility for the situation and accept the corresponding penalty," Lewis said. "I apologize to Magic fans, my teammates and this organization for not doing the research that should come with good judgment." He will be suspended without pay for the first 10 regular-season games for which he is eligible and physically able to play. He will be docked about $1.6 million of his $18 million salary for the 2009-10 season (ESPN)."
Who knows if he is lying and just took something that he didn't know was against the rules. Everyone says it, so you really just never know, but I don't feel bad at all for this guy. They have hotlines, and everything else, so that you can ask about a product if you are not sure. So, it is his own fault for taking this shit, and he deserves to be suspended.
