The former NBA player and Maryland star, Juan Dixon, who delivered an anti-steroid message to the Congress, may have tested positive for using an over-the-counter supplement, his wife said.

Robyn Dixon, his wife, said in an interview with The Baltimore Sun that Juan was of the view that there was nothing wrong in the over-the-counter supplement, Juan was however unavailable for any comment.

From Articles.Baltimoresun.com:

Dixon was indefinitely suspended Friday, according to the Spanish team Unicaja, which said he had a positive result for Nandrolone, an anabolic steroid, during a test conducted in Greece. Dixon had played in Greece late last year before joining Unicaja.

Unicaja’s Web site said that the suspension was imposed by Switzerland-based FIBA, the basketball governing body, and would last at least until the issue is resolved.

Robyn Dixon, who lives in the family’s home in Silver Spring with the couple’s two young children, said her husband’s urine sample is to be tested again next Monday.

His wife said she didn’t know which supplement might have triggered the positive. She said the player, Maryland’s career scoring leader, will “go into GNC and see something and say, ‘I’ll try this.’ It’s probably something more to help the muscles repair.”

E-mails to FIBA requesting information about Dixon‘s case were not immediately returned Sunday night.

It is worth remembering here that Juan Dixon testified in 2005 by a U.S. House committee and said that he and other NBA players had succeeded “through hard work and dedication to our dreams, not through the use of steroids or other performance-enhancing drugs.”
