Orlando Magic's forward Rashard Lewis has been suspended for 10 games. The Orlando Sentinel first reported the positive test early this morning, stating unidentified league sources, the newspaper reported the supplement taken contained DHEA, which is a steroids precursor. In Simpler terms Rashard took something that elevated his testosterone.
In a statement that Rashard released he stated that he took an over-the-counter supplement late last season that had 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.I hope every athlete can learn from my mistake that supplements, no matter how innocent they seem, should only be taken after consulting an expert in the field," Lewis said in his statement." 
Rashard will be suspened without pay for the first 10 games of the seaon (which is nothing in the NBA seriously). Last seaon he averaged 19 points in the Playoffs which helped the Magics make it to the NBA Finals (maybe the drugs died out on him in the Finals).
I really do think Rashard didn't mean to take the DHEA, I mean he is good without. I f you don't believe check his stats before you judge. Thank You!!! :) The 10 games he will be suspended for won't even effect him or the team. He will come and play like that great forward he is. I am confident that Rashard and the Magics will kill this season, well they better since they are my team to win the Finals this season (well I hope they win this seaon). Rashard is a great man on and off the court and I mean at least he get caught sticking a needle up his a$$.
