Colon Examined

Lost in the furor over Alex Rodriquez, the Oakland Athletics received good news about Bartolo Colon. Colon (accent on the second syllable) had been suspended last year over performance-enhancing drugs but was not on this week's list of players targeted for suspension.

Bartolo Colon is one of the top pitchers in the American League and sports a 14-3 record and a 2.50 Earned Run Average. At the advanced age of 40, he is having one of his best seasons ever and understandably was suspected of using PED's. Now that he's good to go, the A's, who are leading their division, have an excellent chance of making the playoffs. © 2013 Stephen Yuen
