Wow this could be big if it ends up being confirmed.
ESPN is reporting and has quotes from Rashard himself apologizing.
Hadn't looked at for it yet, thanks.

The one guy I've always been suspiscious of is LeBron.  Think about it.  I cannot remember ever seeing him look tired, fatigued, or even human.  Has anyone ever seen him bend over and grab his shorts, or put his hands on his knees from being tired?  The guy plays 110% for 48 minutes for 82 games, literally, and it looks effortless to him.

Plus, he's not just casually jacking up threes all game.  The dude is taking it to the rack hard and getting hammered.  We are all witnesses to a SUSPECT.

If Lebron ever failed or fails a test, we would never know. David Stern would never let that happen. Lebron is either a machine or he is taking something. But we will never know.

Not to mention the fact that he's been unnaturally jacked all the way back to his teenage years.

Surprised by this (ie that Lewis did it).

He's claiming it's an over the counter substance.

Why would the NBA ban anything that's over the counter?  What if he just went to GNC and bought something to put on a few pounds of muscle?  That's illegal?  That doesn't make sense to me.

Quite a few over the counter supplements (ie stuff you can buy at GNC) contain substances deemed illegal by the NBA and the NFL drug policies.  Most of them contain steroid precursors or masking agents (the star caps in Minnesota).  They are legal for consumers to buy and own but the sports leagues have banned a substance in them.  Several NFL players a year test positive for something they blame on supplements.  Most of those substances can be serious performance enhancers if you take them in the right dosages.

Bottom line is that if you are a professional athelete, don't take any supplement or vitamin that your team trainer doesn't give you directly.

Dwight Howard is suspect too. That kid gained about 50 pounds of solid muscle since he was drafted. LOL.

Poor guy. He just figured he wouldn't be going against Baby and more but KG and Sheed now. He's gotta take a lot of stuff to get big enough to defend them. ;)

LOL Shard would destroy Sheed. Sheed has been washed up for awhile.
