Reds Ernest (Niko) Vasquez and Jamie Walczak both get 50 Game suspensions.

Reds minor leaguers Ernest (Niko) Vasquez and Jamie Walczak both tested positive for amphetamines and received 50-game suspensions, according to this Associated Press report (hat tip: Hal McCoy of the Dayton Daily News). Vasquez, a third baseman, and Walczak, a right-handed pitcher, will begin their suspensions next season.

I guess that proves that amphetamines aren't performance enhancing drugs, lol.

What's up with all these minor league players being suspended for amphetamines?

If it's anything like the Bowling Green Hot Rods incident, he may have been taking adderall or something along those lines

It's been getting really popular for younger people looking to get an energy boost of sorts
