Didn't Shard get suspended 10 games for roids? Same thing, perhaps?

And there comes the press release. Damn. Mayo suspended 10 games for violating NBA/NBPA Anti-Drug program. Tested positive for DHEA.

From Jeff Zillgitt's Twitter:

"O.J. Mayo's positive test, according to the team, was for dehydroepiandrosterone, a steroid."

NBA announces 10-game suspension for OJ Mayo for testing positive for DHEA. Mayo insists didn't know over-the-counter supplement was banned

That's the same over-the-counter stuff Rashard Lewis was taking, yes?

Honestly, these guys have a team of trainers and nutritionist types employed to look after this kind of thing for them, and they go out and buy some sort of pro-gain crap from their local supplement store and don't read the label.

Has anyone who tested positive for steroid use "knowingly" taken them?

I thought he renounced the Church of Mayo a while back? Lost his faith or something.
