    The Fan just announced that Lewis was suspended for the first 10 games of the season for violating the league drug policy.

    Well... most players who sign such a massive and undeserved contract get lazy. At least he's trying to be in shape (in a half-assed way).

    So it was more like a steroid, HGH type drug. Eh.. it could be worse.

    It wouldn't bother me if Roy and Oden were on HGH.

    I doubt it was HGH. That stuff is actually hard to test for.

    There are quite a few substances on the market which will increase testosterone levels that aren't HGH. I read about one that a few NFL players took and got suspended for because the ingredient was "unlisted". The policies clearly state that players must know what they are taking though, so its on them.

    Hell when I saw the title of the thread I was wondering how anybody in Miami even stays on the team with the club scene that is present there.

    Actually I believe if any athlete wants to take steroids on their own, that is their own thing and they can make that decision. Having a team push you to take something is one thing. But if you want to do performance enhancing substances, I view it as nothing more than controlling your diet. To each their own.

    No, that's pretty much the worst it can get.

    You would think he would consult the teams doctor before taking any kind of supplements.

    I don't know about that. A 6'10 230lb athlete on a meth binge sounds pretty damn scary to me.

    Lewis is primarily a spot up shooter. Did the HGH help his accuracy?
