A weight-loss drug, basically.
Steep as a 10-game ban is, then, Miles' choice is nothing bound to scare teams away from signing him. Miles has tried out for at least four clubs already this month -- Boston, Dallas, New Jersey and Phoenix -- and is expected to command no more than a minimum salary in his comeback from longstanding knee problems, as the 26-year-old still has $18 million in salary coming from the Portland Trail Blazers.

There's a little bit more in there about Miles, but nothing we didn't already know. I hadn't seen anyone post what the banned substance actually was, so I thought I'd throw this in here.
