Rays OF Carlos Gomez says players targeted for drug testing

Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Carlos Gomez is speaking out against Major League Baseball's drug testing program, claiming there is nothing "random" about it.

Gomez made his comments in Spanish following a test by MLB on Tuesday, three days after he was activated from the disabled list. He told the Tampa Bay Times in separate comments Tuesday that it was the sixth or seventh time he has been tested in the first nine weeks of this season.

"They tell you that it's random, that they do the tests randomly and those players who go out there, go and do a drug test," he said in the video posted on the Twitter page of journalist Hector Gomez, which was translated by ESPN Deportes.
