2011-01-28来源:和谐英语

NEW YORK, Jan. 27 (Xinhua) -- Memphis Grazzlies's guard O.J. Mayo was suspended 10 games without pay for violating the NBA league and union's anti-drug program with a positive test.

The league announced the suspension on Thursday for Mayo's positive test for dedehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA). Mayo's suspension will start on Friday when the Grizzlies visit Philadelphia.

Mayo said in a statement released by the team that he is extremely disappointed he will miss 10 games as the Grizzlies are making a push for the playoffs. He blames an over-the-counter supplement for containing a substance banned by the NBA.
