Cubs Minor League player Pineda suspended
I don't know anything about this player, but it's nice to see the commissioner doing something about PED's for a change.
From MLB.Com:
Cubs Minor League player Pineda suspended
The Office of the Commissioner of Baseball announced today that Chicago Cubs Minor League pitcher Francoris Pineda has received a 50-game suspension for testing positive for metabolites of Stanozolol, a performance-enhancing substance, in violation of the Minor League Drug Prevention and Treatment Program.
The suspension of Pineda is effective immediately. He is currently with the organization's Dominican Summer League team.

Same thing
Ben Johnson got banned for in the 1988 Olympics—or Robert Hernandez of Peoria Chiefs earlier this year.
Builds muscle mass. It’s an old-time steroid. Real cutting edge for the late 1980s.
If it makes you feel any better, I’ve never heard of this guy. Of course, I don’t really pay attention to the DSL players until they come stateside.
Borowy . . .Sutcliffe . . .Harden?
