And the hammer comes down:

The Office of the Commissioner of Baseball announced today that Atlanta Braves Minor League right-handed pitcher Arodys Vizcaino has received an 80-game suspension without pay after testing positive for Stanozolol, a performance-enhancing substance, in violation of Major League Baseball’s Joint Drug Prevention and Treatment Program.

Man, who even uses Stanozolol anymore? That pic of Vizcaino to the right, there? It’d from several years ago during his first stint with the Braves. If he’s going to use a throwback drug, I’m gonna use a throwback pic.
