It was over-the-counter stuff. Apparently (hopefully) he didn't know.
This is big news. This can effect who gets homecourt advantage in the Eastern Conference.

I just think it's ridiculous that when an NBA player gets in trouble for this stuff, no one really cares but when a baseball player does the same thing, the whole world ends

Yea I found out at my gym where its the Orlando Magic's training facility, a few men from RDV (training facilty/gym) corporate and probably from the Magic were in meetings all day, and one of them knows my friend who I work out with and told us about this...sucks big time. It was a shock.

I think that in baseball, people care more because it affects records. Rashard taking an OTC supplement won't affect his shooting percentage or ball handling. He'll just look good in a tank top.
On a serious note, you'd think pro ballers would hire personal trainers that are well educated in the area of the NBA's substance abuse policies.
I just had a mental image of Muggsy Bogues with roid rage.

Might not affect his game that much, but rules are rules.

No, its a joke because 10 games is nothing. I would have suppeneded him 25-50 games.

That's true but he's already missing over 10% of the season
