Lindsey Hunter!?

So, Lindsey Hunter was suspended 10 games for testing positive for a banned substance. Lindsey Hunter!? Lindsey's a little guy!

My first reaction was that Lindsey Hunter was the last person in the NBA I would expect to test positive for a banned substance. Then I read this article. Hunter tested positive for phentermine, which is used primarily for weight loss. Hunter said the pill belonged to his wife.

"We do that at our house -- if I've got a head cold, I might grab one of her pills," he said. "It was just a bonehead mistake on my part."

The boneheaded mistake, besides this quote, was apparently grabbing a diet pill for a head cold. The boneheaded mistake will cost Hunter $202,000 in game salaries. Sheesh.

Side point: if you're a professional athlete, and your livelihood depends on your game eligibility, how can you not know what is and isn't banned by your league? Are you so busy practicing and playing games that you can't read a label? Seems like I'd be intimately familiar with what I could and couldn't put in my body, if messing up might cost me six figures.
