(Reuters) - Free agent O.J. Mayo has been "dismissed and disqualified" from the National Basketball Association for violating the league's anti-drug program, the NBA announced on Friday. In line with the anti-drug program, no details of Mayo's violation were publicly disclosed by the league and the 28-year-old guard is eligible to apply for reinstatement in two years. Taken with the third overall pick in the 2008 draft by the Minnesota Timberwolves, Mayo was suspended by the NBA for 10 games in 2011 after testing positive for a banned steroid.
