Boli Illegal

ESPNdeportes.com investigates primobolan in the Dominican Republic, and finds that it could not be purchased over the counter during the time Alex Rodriguez says he injected himself.

Dr. Pia Veras, who oversees the regulatory agency, told ESPNdeportes.com that Primobolan is known as "boli" in the streets of Dominican Republic, and was not legal for purchase during the aforementioned years.

"What Alex Rodriguez stated at the press conference [in Tampa] doesn't make sense," Veras said. "It is important for us to clarify that such substance has not been registered and is not currently registered for legal sale in Dominican pharmacies -- not now and the same applies for the years 2001 to 2003."

Maybe this is why Alex used the street name; his cousin bought it on the streets. Testosterone, however, was available over the counter in the DR.
