NEW YORK, (Reuters) – The Orlando Magic’s Rashard Lewis has been suspended without pay for 10 games after testing positive for an elevated testosterone level.
The NBA said in a statement that Lewis’s level of testosterone violated the terms of the Anti-Drug Program, jointly agreed by the NBA and the NBA Players Association.
Lewis’s suspension will begin with the first game of the 2009-10 NBA regular season, against the Philadelphia 76ers on Oct. 28.
Orlando were Eastern Conference champions last season before losing to the L.A Lakers in the NBA final.
