Dominican Duo Suspended



Major League Baseball has tabbed Sandy Alderson to reform its operations in the Dominican Republic, and one of his charges will be the help reduce the number of performance-enhancing drug suspensions among players there. More evidence of the problem continues to emerge with two more suspensions of Dominican players Thursday: Indians pitcher Jeffry Cleto and Cubs outfielder Gregorio Robles, both on rosters in the Rookie-level Dominican Summer League.

Cleto was suspended for the first 50 games of 2010 after testing positive for Stanozolol. Robles, a switch-hitter, was suspended for 100 games for testing positive a second time for the same drug.
