Grizzlies Guard OJ Mayo tested positive for DHEA and cited tainted supplements as the possible source. He'll be suspended for 10 games and the salary that comes with it. In a rare moment of accountability he accepted full responsibility for not checking the contents. While this may be just part of the player's training program the NBA and team do not seem interested in deeper review.
Grizzlies owner Michael Heisley said Mayo will continue practicing with the team during his suspension.
"O.J. had a lack of judgment but has shown complete accountability," Heisley said in a statement. "We will continue to support O.J. during this time as we have from the moment he joined the team in 2008. He has unselfishly done everything we have asked of him, and we expect him to grow as a player and a person from this experience."

Should cyclists be handled similarly for apparently "minor" doping infractions like Contador's bad meat?
