Lewis Will Sit for 10


Well, lookie here. It appears that Major League Baseball isn't the only sport with some potential performance enhancing drug issues. The NBA today announced that Orlando Magic Forward Rashard Lewis is being suspended for 10 games for "having an elevated testosterone level". We aren't exactly sure how clear that is, but it is interesting never the less.

The story from Mike Bianchi of the Orlando Sentinel here .

Lewis, who is coming off a very successful run with the Magic in the NBA Playoffs isn't known for being a "Rule Bender" with some folks saying it was an "Innocent Mistake". Lewis should consider himself lucky now that he isn't a baseball player where such offenses now carry much longer sentences (I can't believe I just said that). We aren't really sure that we believe that considering most athletes are lectured incessantly about the danger of putting something that they don't know in there systems.
