Cleveland Indians minor leaguer suspended 50 games for steroid use

GOODYEAR, Ariz. -- Indians minor league catcher Steven Lebron was suspended for 50 games for testing positive for the steroid Boldenone metabolite.

Lebron, a member of the Indians Dominican Summer League team, was signed in January. His contract was voided at no cost to the Indians.

Three other minor leaguers tested positive: Mets pitcher Melvin Colon and Yankees catcher Josue Rodriguez and pitcher Israel Tolentino. They were suspended for 50 games.

Boldenone is a steroid used on horses. It's a favorite of body builders as they prepare for competition. It is also banned by MLB.

All four suspensions will be effective at the start of the 2010 Dominican Summer League season in May.

This has gotten more than a few people a vacation.

Ban him.

why Go4Dicks can start a BS thread. No ban.

This is where it started. WTF?

While nuthooks are definitely in order here, I don't really think bans are warranted unless it's Chiefs-related. How many people here really give a rat's ass about the Cavaliers anyway?

YOU SHOULDA SEEN THE LOOK ON YER FACES LOLOLOLOLOL

Meh. GC didn't get banned for his McNabb trade, this shouldn't either. I was just sayin'. It used to be a standard. This was a clever one at least and not just complete bullshit.

And good for the league for suspending that manager. While steroids won't help you hit a curve ball, they definitely give you an edge when deciding whether or not to pull a pitcher or put on a suicide squeeze.

This kind of stuff has been going on for as long as I've been here and the only time I recall bans was last year during the coaching/GM turnover. There's a huge difference between this and 'Pioli signs'.

That's pretty ironic.

But you're still gay.

LOL I actually got a kick out of Pioli signs. That was another clever one.

Wrong on both counts.
