For the second time in one week, a Bay Area ballplayer has been suspended for testosterone usage. This time it’s Bartolo Colon, the pitcher who lead the Oakland A’s in wins, innings pitched and starts.
Colon’s 50-game suspension comes on the heels of the Giants’ Melky Cabrera’s equal punishment for using performance-enhancing drugs.
And here I thought the steroid era was finally behind us. But as Yogi Berra once said, “It ain’t over til it’s over.”
By this time you might think BALCO stands for Bay Area Losers Cheat Often. Too bad for the Giants and the A’s – yet somehow both teams manage to keep on winning.
