Iriki Suspended for 50 Games
According to sportingnews.com, Iriki was suspended for 50 games Friday after testing positive for a performance-enhancing substance, making him the first player to be penalized under Major League Baseball's toughened steroid rules.

Does anyone know what exactly he tested positive for?

The article is a little misleading because Iriki hasn't played in the majors and is essentially a minor league player. And he's not the first from the minors to be suspended for 50 days. One guy even got 100 days.

I'm waiting for the first genuine major leaguer to be suspended under the new rules. Now that would be something.

About

This is a site about Pro Yakyu (Japanese Baseball), not about who the next player to go over to MLB is. It's a community of Pro Yakyu fans who have come together to share their knowledge and opinions with the world. It's a place to follow teams and individuals playing baseball in Japan (and Asia), and to learn about Japanese (and Asian) culture through baseball.

It is my sincere hope that once you learn a bit about what we're about here that you will join the community of contributors.
