This is the first year that the names are being released, I guess there were legal issues in the past that held up releasing the names to the general public. But I do find it interesting that 99.9% of the suspensions are coming out of the Dominican summer leagues.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('3365','Timm Davis'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('3365','Timm Davis','Brandon,\r\n\r\nYeah I was noticing that trend for sure.

I recall a few years back, that some Latin Americans were claiming that the 'rules' were not perfectly clear to them as non-native English speakers. Additionally, could there be a form of conspiracy theory? Either regularity of testing, tests being thrown out, etc? With how MLB treated the Bonds situation, I wouldn't put it past this organization to be down right racist in all facets of PED testing.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('3363','Brandon Heikoop'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('3363','Brandon Heikoop','Timm,\r\n\r\nDo you find it interesting that many of the names that are being thrown around in terms of testing positive are Latin Americans?
