Bartolo Colon fails MLB drug test; in line for 50-game suspension

Veteran Oakland Athletics pitcher Bartolo Colon failed an MLB drug test and is subject to a 50-game suspension, CBSSports.com has learned.

Colon resurrected his career after a controversial stem-cell treatement. He is 10-9 with a 3.43 ERA for the A's this year after going 8-10 with a 4.00 ERA with the Yankees last year.

Colon's suspension comes on the heels of the 50-game suspension for Giants outfielder Melky Cabrera.

I'm not surprised at all. I'm just surprised that these guys continue to get caught. I still think more guys are beating the system than anyone wants to admit.

Either they mixed up his weight with his testosterone levels or he ate Melky Cabrera. So much for that stem cell stuff.

Victor Conti was recently quoted as saying he believes half of MLB are still on PEDs of one kind or another.

I'm not surprised by this at all. Big blow for the A's though.

People might scoff at him, but I believe him. He's made a career out of this sort of thing.
