Dominican Republic Steroid death?

[Shibby]

I saw something on SC this morning about a baseball player dieing after injecting steroids. Well that's what they said anyways, but I was able to stick around and hear the story. I can't find anything about it. Anyone else hear this?

Yeah, I heard it. The extent of the details was that a couple teenage dominican boys have died from injecting themselves with animal grade steroids in an attempt to enhance their physical performance so that they could make the MLB league. Some Dominican organization had a corresponding number of caskets delivered to Bud Seligs office in an attempt to get them to step up steroid testing in the Dominican Republic because they believe that would stop teens from using if they knew they would get caught (cause that obviously stops athletes from using, but that's beside the point). MLB points out that the Dominican has laws that prevent the level of testing that would be required and further points out that they do some level of testing that is allowed by Dominican law and they would need more authority to do anything further.

That's about all I caught as I was listening to SC as I was preparing my meals for the day.

Apparently they were using bad stuff and it is much more prevalent than I would have guessed. Most those dominicans aren't very big dudes!

Actually looks like they were shooting this "diamino" super vitamin shit used for livestock. I didn't see where anyone died from shooting steroids.

It could be that the media dosn't have a clue. They heard there was some animal stuff being injected and assumed it was AS

[JUICE]

they probably injected something else.
