Quick FYI, "drug of abuse" is not always HGH, MILB players can be suspended for things like pot (which is drug of abuse)

The Yankees' Alfredo Aceves suspended 50 games for second positive test for "drug of abuse," MLB says. (He's now in Triple-A.)

Alfredo Aceves won't be back with the #Yankees anytime soon. He was suspended for 50 games for 2nd second positive test for recreation drug.

IIRC "drug of abuse" means pot or something like that, not PEDs.

I wasn't aware that the blood of a goat was considered a drug of abuse.

Yup. Yahoo did an article on this, this week..

Unfortunately he didn't quite grasp the whole "usually reserved for top prospects" concept.
 
Besides, if *that's* what he was like when he was stoned, can you imagine . . . . .

He doesn't strike me as a mellow guy. I don't think he was smoking pot unless it was laced with PCP.

Seems more like an adderall type guy.

Sources telling me "drug of abuse" in Alfredo Aceves case was marijuana. Big leaguers aren't tested for it- but rules different in minors.

Alfredo Aceves, who had been pitching in Mexico, has been suspended for the rest of the season after attacking an umpire. Yikes!

He has issues

That's certainly not what I was thinking when I heard it on the radio or saw that first tweet. Not that he shouldn't have gotten suspended for the rest of the season, I just question the use of the word "attack".
