Mayo gets 10-game suspension
The NBA has suspended Memphis guard O.J. Mayo 10 games without pay for violating the league and union's anti-drug program with a positive test. He tested positive for dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA).
In a statement released by the team Thursday, the No. 3 pick in the 2008 draft blamed an over-the-counter supplement that he didn't know was banned. "It was an honest mistake, but I take full responsibility," he said. " . . . I apologize to my fans, teammates and the Grizzlies organization for regrettably not doing the necessary research about what supplements I can put in my body."
