I was so tempted to go with the headline “Yanks Rodriguez Suspended For PED Use”…but, that would have been just silly…

…via mlb.com –

The Office of the Commissioner of Baseball announced today that two Minor League players from the New York Yankees organization, pitchers Nestor de Leon and Ramon Rodriguez, have received 50-game suspensions after each tested positive for a performance-enhancing substance in violation of the Minor League Drug Prevention and Treatment Program. Rodriguez tested positive for Boldenone, while de Leon tested positive for metabolites of Stanozolol.

The suspensions of both players, who are members of the organization’s Dominican Summer League team, are effective immediately.

Oh, to be young, dumb and naïve…

Too bad these kids don’t play in the Red Sox chain…then they would have been given 9 days to come up with the excuse that the test results were caused by nutritional supplements and vitamins bought over the counter…
