Joakim Noah will be paying for testosterone ban even longer

SAN ANTONIO – The $72 million man has made a $3 million mistake.

The NBA announced Saturday morning Knicks center Joakim Noah is suspended 20 games for testing positive for a testosterone booster, Selective Androgen Receptor Modulator LGD-4033, in violation of the Anti-Drug Program.

The Androgen supplement is touted to help with testosterone. It tends to act like an anabolic steroid, and hence is viewed as a performance-enhancing ingredient because it “provides many of the muscle-building and therapeutic benefits of testosterone.’’ An NBA source said some items have been removed from the list in the new CBA for next season, but this one remained.
