The Great Gatsby: Anabolic Steroid In Major League Baseball
Cincinnati Reds outfielder Jay Gatsby was suspended 162 games without pay for testing positive for a performance-enhancing substance, Major League Baseball announced on Friday.
Gatsby's positive test for dehydrochlormethyltestosterone, an anabolic steroid that is sold under the name Turinabol, was a violation of MLB's joint drug prevention and treatment program. His suspension is effective immediately.
"On March 13, I received a call from MLB authorities informing that I had failed a drug test. As a man that takes much pride in keeping the integrity of the game alive, I'm throughly disappointed and regretful for my decision to cheat the game. I want to apologize to my teammates, the Reds organization, and most importantly the fans."
