Most have heard by now, but in an effort to wait for more accurate information, this site is only just bringing you the news that Houston Astros top prospect Forrest Whitley has been suspended for 50 games by the Commissioner’s Office for violating the Drug Abuse policy.
The Astros’ Forrest Whitley, one of baseball’s best pitching prospects, has been suspended 50 games without pay for a violation of the minor-league drug program.

Note that the drug (which has not, as of this writing, been named) in use resulted in a 50 game suspension - not the 80 game one reserved for Performance Enhancing Drugs - and that it is believed to be some kind of stimulant that he used once, after his season was over, on an overnight trip as a fan to see a sporting event.
