Miami Heat forward feels the heat of NBA

Don MacLean, the Miami Heat forward, has become the first NBA player to be suspended for steroid use.
MacLean was suspended for a period of five games without pay after violating the policy on using steroids of the NBA and Players' Association.
Neither the Heat, the NBA nor the Players Association is permitted to disclose information regarding the testing or treatment of a player.
MacLean was signed by the Heat as a free agent after stints with Washington (1992-95), Denver (1995-96), Philadelphia (1996-97), New Jersey (1997-98), Seattle (1998-99) and Phoenix (1999-2000).
He has played just 42 games over the past three seasons due to injuries, and is averaging 7.3 points and 4.0 rebounds this season.
The NBA's Most Improved Player for the 1993-94 season, he has a career average of 11.1 points and 3.8 rebounds.
The NBA player was scheduled to miss at least a month after undergoing surgery on his right foot on 15 November.
