The players, both pitchers, are 20-year-old Roman Carrasco and Luis Figuera, 17. Their suspensions carry into 2009 because there are fewer than 50 games remaining in the 2008 season.
Major League Baseball said Friday night that both were tested positive for anabolic steroids -- Carrasco for nandralone and Figuera for stenozolol metabolites.
Um, thats stanozolol (winny) and nandrolone.

Robert Hunt once grabbed a female police officer by the throat during a barroom brawl. It took several bouncers to release his grip, according to state records.
Just two months back, Michael Kenney was stopped by officers who suspected he was driving drunk. Instead of agreeing to a DUI test, he fought back, his criminal charges indicate.
Yet up until this week, Hunt still was a practicing doctor and Kenney a licensed pharmacist.
That changed Thursday, when federal and local agents arrested them both, accusing them of helping people illegally obtain prescription drugs, according to the Broward Sheriff's Office.
So is the conventional wisdom now that Armstrong did cheat all those years? I thought the guy had superhuman physiology or something (I'm not being sarcastic--I thought he had a heart the size of horse, naturally, or somesuch).

Michael Kenney was set up by the DEA and the Broward Narcotics Unit to be locked up for 25 years but as it turned out, Kenney was running a 100% legitamite pharmacy, is not a drug trafficker like the media hyped, was set free in January 2009 with NO Formal Charges ever being filed, not one! The authorities expected to find a ton of illegal drugs and proof that Kenney was just handing out Rx meds without a prescription but they were completely wrong and now its time for some major payback in the form of a justice, a huge lawsuit, for what they did to Dr Kenney, his family and his Beach Med Community Pharmacy.

Where there is competition there will be steroids. And people will continue to use them.
