The First Bust

Alex Sanchez, centerfielder for the Tampa Bay D-Rays, is the first to fail the steroid testing. Beginning with opening day (although he can probably play while he appeals the decision) and for ten games thereafter, he's suspended. His excuses are pretty bad, though, ranging from "I take all sorts of stuff, just not steroids" to "But I've only hit four home runs in my career," which almost leads me to believe that he's telling the truth. Ah, it's gonna be a long season.
