    Wasn't he under suspicion already as part of the original 105?

    I'm not sure how long he's been under suspicion. Was doing some stuff by the idiot box when I saw the Breaking News flash over the MLB Banner, kind of freaked me out, not because of who it was but the apparent swiftness of the action.

    Just now found the article on ESPN Home page and the Fox Rosenthal Report.

    in the article on ESPN, it says the following...

    "I admitted I made a mistake. But I want people to understand one thing: I wasn't using a drug to take advantage on the field, or be stronger or hit more home runs," Tejada said to Enrique Rojas of ESPNdeportes.com from his home in Florida.

    "I've been using it [Adderall] for the past five years and had medical permission from MLB. But my last permit expired on April 15 and they didn't gave me another. I knew that I was in risk of breaking the rules, but at the same time, I could not stop using the medicine because I suffer from ADD [Attention Deficit Disorder]. It's not a vice, it is a disease."

    ...^^^ really. I mean this dumbass admits he knew he "was in risk of breaking the rules" and thinks we will somehow sympathize with him?

    He's clearly not the sharpest knife in the drawer.
