Google said that is used to gain weight. Normally vets if his age are trying to loose mass. Interesting.

Right, why would anybody assume that the NBA cares? https://www.complex.com/sports/2018/01/why-theres-never-been-a-ped-scandal-in-the-nba
There were some stories about LBJ and Wade taking PEDs when on the heat together, a lot of it made sense. However, if any of this is true, my money is on Kendrick Perkins becoming the Jose Canseco of the NBA.
My guess would be Dwight: plenty of locker rooms he's been a part of, and plenty where he's worn out his welcome; massive sense of entitlement; game predicated on overwhelming athleticism, so a player predisposed to looking for chemical assistance to maintain that athleticism as he aged. I would guess he'd be someone who'd both partook of assistance and, being ostracized by much of the NBA, not feel bad about letting the cat out of the bag. Just a guess. It is funny there hasn't been a big PED scandal. Then again, this is the same league that had a crooked referee, betting on sports, and they managed to say in response, "And??? He didn't fix games. We say so." And got that to stick. It'd be interesting what info on both of those issues that David Stern managed to bury all of those years.
The whole Jordan story is absolutely wild as well. If he really took a leave to pursue baseball to avoid being suspended for gambling, the league/Stern did some work to make no one realize Jordan was the Pete Rose of the NBA. The move to baseball made zero sense. Nike may be the almighty power holding that one together.
The NBA cares, they just quietly suspend the guy without announcing the drug. Matt Geiger got suspended for it and it was believed that Chris Webber's suspension near the end of his career was for it.
Matt Geiger getting suspended sounds like the old Jerry Tarkanian quote that, "The NCAA was so mad at Kentucky that they gave Cleveland State two more years of probation." Bust a star, in his prime, like cycling did with Festina, or the Olympics did to Ben Johnson, and I'll take their claims they care about PEDs seriously. Wilson Chandler is not Cleveland State level of irrelevant, but he's also not an Admiral you hang in order to encourage the others.
