Phillies Prospect Alec Asher Suspended 80 Games for PED Usage

Alec Asher has been suspended by Major League Baseball for using the oral anabolic steroid Dehydrochlormethyltestosterone, which should be the championship-winning word at the National Spelling Bee.

Alec Asher is currently ranked by MLB.com as the Phillies 26th overall prospect since being sent over in the Cole Hamels trade with Matt Harrison, C Jorge Alfaro, RHP Jerad Eickhoff, OF Nick Williams, and RHP Jake Thompson last year.

Phillies reporter Todd Zolecki of MLB.com was the first to report Ashers’ suspension.

RHP Alec Asher suspended 80 games without pay after testing positive for Dehydrochlormethyltestosterone, a PED.
