Oh boy, here we go again! Just when you think you have enough problems with doping in the MLB, three MiLB ball players have been suspended for Stanozolol among other performance enhancing drugs.
Come on, folks, I mean really! Doping? At such an early point in your career?! Don't get me wrong, I am completely against steroids and doping period, but to do it, let alone at such an early point in your career, is just completely stupid. The minor leagues are all about competing with yourself not other individual ball players. It's about improving, developing and honing one's skills with bat, glove and speed to prove that you are a great candidate to go up and prove yourself in the majors. You're not competing against every other Chipper Jones or Randy Johnson, you already did that in the draft. Being drafted proves the big ball clubs think you are or might be worthy of playing in their ballpark.
Just a shame. Hopefully this doesn't ruin their careers like it has so many former major league ball players; just take a look at Mark McGuire, Jose Canseco and Barry Bonds (who's all-time home run record is now tarnished with his past of steroid use). What a shame.
