TASTE THE 'ROIDING RAINBOW
One week after Derrick Turnbow became the first player on a Major League roster to test positive for steroids, Terrmel Sledge of the Montreal Expos has joined him.
Both Turnbow and Sledge (minor-leaguer on the 40-man roster) tested positive at the same US Olympic tryout camp and have been banned from international competition for two years. Since the two players tested positive in 2003, they won't face any of the treatment requirements or penalties that will be put in effect for positive testers in 2004.
For my take on this, here's my initial reaction from when Turnbow tested positive.
