Buscones enablers

By Tangotiger, 01:07 PM

Dan Rather reports:

MLB teams have known for years about this drug use by Dominican teenagers. You’d have to be a bit impressionable, or foolish, as a pro scout to believe that so many 17-year-olds from a country that small could perform the same athletic feats as Americans in their 20s.

“The buscones arranged for this to happen,’’ Rather said of the drug use. “The Dominican government has a lot to answer for...but MLB’s responsibility is that they have been big enablers.’’
