MLB Warns Sexual Enhancers May Include PEDs

Jeff Passan, reporting for MLB:

Major League Baseball in a memo warned about the “very real risk” of over-the-counter sexual-enhancement pills after at least two players this year were suspended for performance-enhancing drugs and said the banned substances found in their urine came from the unregulated products, sources familiar with the situation told ESPN.

The use of over-the-counter pills, which are often sold at gas stations, is prevalent among baseball players, according to multiple sources. It prompted the league to send out a memo on Monday that outlines the risk of consuming non-NSF-certified supplements.

Michael Kay:

You can’t make it up. Millions of dollars at risk and you pop a couple of pills you buy at a gas station. Mind boggling.

“Gas Station Boner Pills” would be a good name for a band.
