Fuzzy Case of Positive Substance Test in Baseball
Here is an interesting case. If the article has the facts right, then it seems that Phillie middle reliever J. C. Romero is going to get suspended and lose $1.25 million for testing positive for an over-the-counter substance that the Player's Union mistakenly indicated as OK to use. Right now, it looks like both the Union and Major League Baseball are going to let him roast. Again assuming the facts in the article are correct, he's getting screwed over IMO. A fuzzy case like this was bound to happen, and it will be interesting to see how this one plays out.
