Sergio

Seems like the first free agent pitcher the Yanks' signed is now suspended for 50 games in the upcoming season. Sergio Mitre tested positive for performance enhancing drugs, which he claims to have bought at a GNC. To some extent, it's upsetting that he used PEDs. But, if things you buy at GNC are now illegal...well I have a problem with that. I understand the policy against drugs that you aren't allowed to buy without a prescripition, but over the counter nutritional supplements? That's a little too much I think. Apparently, what Mitre brought had sources of Andro, which is banned, but I just think that banning supplements that are legal is taking this PED thing too far.
