100-Game Suspension for Detroit Minor Tigers League Pitcher, Cesar Carrillo, in Connection With Biogenesis Clinic

The minor league pitcher Cesar Carrillo has been suspended 100 games for violating baseball's drug prevention and treatment program.

The league released a statement on their website Friday, saying the commissioner's office announced the suspension.

The 28-year-old pitcher's name was included on a list earlier reported by Miami New Times this year. The list acquired by the newspaper revealed names of MLB players from a Florida clinic that provides performance enhancing drugs.

The notes of clinic chief Anthony Bosch list the players' names and the substances they received, including human growth hormone steroids. Few unidentified employees confirmed that the clinic distributed the substances. They said that Bosch boasted of supplying drugs to professional athletes but never saw the sports stars in the office.

MLB asked newspaper for the list in February as they continue the investigation into the Biogenesis case however the Miami New Times won't, according to the Washington Post.

"While we appreciate the New Times consideration, we have been proceeding with our investigation as if we were not going to be getting documents from them," MLB spokesman Pat Courtney said in an e-mail, according to the Washington Post.
