Rashard Lewis First Steroid Positive in NBA History Orlando Magic Player Blames DHEA for Failed Steroid Test
Orlando Magic Rashard Lewis violated the NBA/NBPA Anti-Drug Program after testing positive for “elevated
testosterone levels” according to an official NBA statement. Lewis’ first violation of the league’s SPED policy (steroids, performance-enhancing drugs and masking agents) automatically resulted in a 10-game suspension. The suspension corresponds to a loss of $1.6 million of Lewis’ $18 million annual salary.
The NBA has not released specific details about the positive anti-doping
test result other than stating Rashard Lewis had “elevated
testosterone levels.” However, it is unlikely that the anti-doping protocol actually measured “testosterone levels” typically done through a blood
test. The NBA/NBPA does not utilize blood testing as a component of their anti-doping protocols. Most likely, Lewis failed the urinary testosterone:epitestosterone ratio (T:E ratio) protocol.
