Hunter suspended 10 games

NEW YORK (AP) -- Detroit Pistons guard Lindsey Hunter was suspended 10 games without pay by the NBA on Wednesday after testing positive for phentermine, a banned substance primarily used for weight loss.

"I'm as shocked as anyone," Hunter said after arriving at the Palace on Wednesday. "It was a diet pill -- we've all taken stuff and nothing ever happens."

Hunter said the pill was prescribed for his wife Ivy.

"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."

Excuses, excuses, excuses! Don't you all get sick of "I'm as stunned as you are" for all these athletes who violate the drug policy?

So Lindsey took his wife's pill, by accident? That's hogwash, what a joke....I never was a fan of Hunter and this surely doesn't help out!
