NBA Obsessed takes you into the hit and run game of NBA Basketball.
Now as performance enhancing drugs go, DHEA is not all that great and can commonly be bought at health stores everywhere. Rashard Lewis was mixing it in his smoothies and as every athlete that ever tested positive for drugs; he claims he did not know it was illegal.
Lewis, who will turn 30 on Saturday, said he took an over-the-counter supplement near the end of last season which he did not know contained the banned substance. He told the Sentinel the substance was in powder form and he mixed it into smoothies. He got it at a nutritional store, but did not specify the name of the store.
According to an NBA source, Lewis failed one drug test during the playoffs last season and was so surprised by the outcome he asked to be tested again during the Finals. Lewis also failed that test.
So why is this story even important? Well, if you would put your beer down and stop condemning these drug using athletes it will be explained to you.
Orlando has just recently risen to the cream of the crop in NBA circles. Those are not crop circles, but winning circles and a very exclusive club. The members of this club include the Celtics, Lakers, Spurs, Cavaliers, and sometimes the Mavericks and Magic. This club is very exclusive and will judge you on how you act or handle success.
Can Dwight Howard keep the Magic in the club?
Take my Pistons, please. Ok, old joke, but the Pistons stopped playing defense and were kicked out of the club. It is that fickle.
Now back to the Magic. First they let Hedo Turkoglu walk away in free agency and then they bring in Vince Never Guarded Anybody Carter. Now they have Rashard Lewis testing positive. They may get kicked out of the club.
