The Memphis Grizzlies' O.J. Mayo has been hit with a ten-game suspension after testing positive for DHEA, which is dehydroepiandrosterone, which is not a substance permitted by the NBA. He now claims the DHEA entered his system through an energy drink, but Darren Rovell did some digging:
O.J. Mayo Claims Energy Drink Was To Blame For Testing Positive
↵↵OJ Mayo says he tested + for DHEA from an energy drink he bought @ a gas station. None of the top drinks have DHEA in it.
↵↵I think it’s still very possible that he just guessed that it really was from an energy drink, just as it’s possible that a) he’s lying, or b) he’s an aficionado of indie energy drinks. Are there energy drink microbreweries? Like, for hipsters? Wouldn’t the chemical buzz be offset by the jaded malaise that comes along with wanting to drink such a thing to begin with?

One observation I can't refrain from making: O.J. Mayo sounds like the name of the most disgusting energy drink ever.
