TORONTO (CBSNewYork/AP) — Commissioner Rob Manfred says Major League Baseball is investigating four recent positive tests for the steroid Stanozolol along “the same model” as its 2013 Biogenesis probe.
Injured New York Mets closer Jenrry Mejia was suspended for 80 games Saturday, the fourth player in 16 days banned under the major league drug program following a positive test for Stanozolol, a steroid popular with body builders.
Mejia’s discipline came after positive tests and suspensions for Minnesota pitcher Ervin Santana, Seattle pitcher David Rollins and Atlanta pitcher Arodys Vizcaino.
Speaking ahead of the Blue Jays’ home opener Monday, Manfred said baseball will work to determine whether there is any link among the four cases.
