Mayo, just 28, has played eight seasons in the NBA, where he 13 points on 42 percent shooting from the field.

Whether Mayo can return to the court or not will remain to be seen. According to Ken Berger, Mayo cannot be suspended for PEDs, it would have to be a "drug abuse."

In 2011, Mayo served 10-game suspension for testing positive for dehydroepiandrosterone, an over-the-counter steroid precursor.

Mayo ban cannot be for PEDs, however, since he'd never been suspended a second time. Has to be for "drug of abuse."
