I Left My Drugs in San Francisco
It's good to see the breakup of BALCO hasn't stopped Giants players from finding drugs:
San Francisco Giants catcher Eliezer Alfonzo was suspended 50 games Wednesday for testing positive for a performance-enhancing substance, the first player penalized this year under Major League Baseball's drug program.
The 29-year-old Venezuelan was optioned to Triple-A Fresno just before opening day and is batting .306 with three homers and 14 RBI in 16 games. The suspension will start Thursday.
Just another example of a marginal players trying to get a boost.

If Alfonzo was the "first player penalized this year under Major League Baseball's drug program", what did Jordan Schafer get suspended for?
Or does that count as "Minor League Baseball's drug program"?
Yes, Shafer was suspended under the minor league program.
