Astros minor league first baseman Jon Singleton has received a 100-game suspension after a third positive test for a drug of abuse, the league announced today. Right-hander Dean Deetz, also in the Astros system, has received an 80-game suspension after testing positive for a performance enhancing substance (dehydrochlormethyltestosterone). As Baseball America’s J.J. Cooper tweets, Deetz is ranked 22nd on BA’s unreleased ranking of the Astros’ top 30 prospects.
It’s been nearly four years since the Astros signed the now-26-year-old Singleton to a five-year, $10MM contract extension before the former top prospect had played a single day in the Majors. Singleton, viewed as a potential everyday first baseman at that point, was widely panned for selling himself short, though it now looks as if he made the correct call in taking the money when presented with the opportunity.
Singleton was called up to the Majors immediately upon signing the deal and homered in his big league debut, but that highlight proved to be one of the few he’d experience in the big leagues. The slugger went on to hit .168/.285/.335 with 13 homers in 362 plate appearances as a rookie, and he’s tallied just 58 plate appearances in the Majors since.
Singleton spent the 2016 season in Triple-A and the 2017 season back in Double-A, narrowly keeping his average above the Mendoza Line but still showing some pop and a penchant for drawing walks. Singleton is owed $2MM on that contract in 2018, though, he will not be paid during the 100-game term of his suspension. Houston had already outrighted Singleton in the 2016-17 offseason, so his suspension won’t free up a spot on the 40-man roster.
Deetz, 24, was Houston’s 11th-round pick back in 2011. He appeared in 25 games between the Astros’ Double-A and Triple-A affiliates last season, totaling 84 2/3 innings with a 4.25 ERA, 10.3 K/9 and 5.0 BB/9 in that time. Unlike Singleton, he was on the Astros’ 40-man roster, so his placement on the restricted list will create an opening for Houston. Deetz has formally issued a statement denying any knowing use of a PED:
“Let me say first and foremost that I have never knowingly taken a performance enhancing substance of any kind. I come from a small town, and know how fortunate I am to call myself a professional baseball player. I would never jeopardize that opportunity, or betray those who have supported me along the way, by trying to cheat in order to gain an advantage. As I explained to the arbitrator in my appeal, I have no idea how I could possibly have tested positive and although I am disappointed with the outcome, I will abide by his decision. I would like to apologize to my family, friends, the Houston Astros organization, coaches teammates and fans that have been impacted by this situation. I will continue working diligently to clear my name and, in the meantime, rebuild the trust of those who have been affected by this result.”
Wow. Insult to injury
Maybe they should test the guys on the major league roster! I’d start with the 4’10” guy who’s hitting 30 bombs
That’s so disrespectful to make accusations that have no basis in reality. I’d bet my left nut that he puts more effort into his life everyday before you’ve even had your mom pour you a bowl of lucky charms.
Wah
You’re an idiot!
You’re a loser.
Dumbass
This person is definitely an idiot. They said that Joe Musgrove was better than Gerrit Cole lol. Apparently they say many stupid things and I’m pretty sure just an Astros hater.
Not steroids but buzzers! This dude was a prophet
“Let me say first and foremost that I have never knowingly taken a performance enhancing substance of any kind”
Lmao. Love it when they say this crap.
It’s not insane, there have been many studies that show the lax regulations on proteins in certain countries have lead to tainted substances in their mixes.
Every player receives a little card with a. number to call and ask if what they are about to take is ok or against the rules. The only excuses they can make are that they were too lazy or dumb to make a simple phone call.
Good post, I didn’t know that.
In MLB they also have the password to a website that lists every single banned manufacturer of OTC supplements as well as all the banned OTC products as well as all banned controlled substances. Not sure if MiLB has the same site…I would imagine so but I have never looked up their drug program.
This is MLB’s
mlbplayers.com/pdf9/5450924.pdf
And what happens if you call about 30 things and are told they’re all good but then end up with a positive test later on? How do you determine which of those things caused it?
I do not know what happens then. I don’t think it’s very likely, but I suppose anything is possible. In that situation, I’d imagine the player could make a VERY strong case for not getting suspended based on the guidance they were given from someone the MLB told them to contact in these situations. The blame would fall on the MLB instead of the player in that case.
Like I said, I don’t know if that actually is the case, but that would make sense to me.
The problem is even if someone knowingly takes peds, do you think they’re gonna come out saying “you got me”

MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL’S MINOR LEAGUE DRUG PREVENTION AND TREATMENT PROGRAM
4. NUTRITIONAL AND DIETARY SUPPLEMENTS (page 6)
Because the nutritional and dietary supplement industry is not subject to stringent government regulation, over-the-counter nutritional and dietary supplements may be mislabeled, or may contain or be contaminated with a Prohibited Substance which is not listed as an ingredient on the label. As a result, a Player may test positive for a Prohibited Substance from taking a supplement. Such test results will be deemed a positive test result pursuant to Section 5.F below even if the Player claims he was not aware that the product contained a Prohibited Substance, was mislabeled or was contaminated. Players are solely responsible for the substances they put in their bodies under the Program.
The only supplements that Players can use without the risk of a positive test result are products that have been certified under the NSF Certified for Sport program. The NSF Certified for Sport program provides a guarantee that a product does not contain any Prohibited Substances. Players act at their own risk if they ingest any supplements that are not NSF Certified for Sport. An up-to-date list of NSF Certified for Sport products is available at http://www.NSFsport.com.
Yet they still apologize. Sorry but If I didn’t do it, I ain’t apologizing.
You ain’t huh?
Technically, that is the correct use of the word. I would bet however that while he gave the statement, it wasn’t written solely by him.
Yeah is a contraction for “am not” You gotta problem with it?
He apologized for everyone having to deal with this, not for using.
Surprised singleton didn’t say it aswell
That’s because Singleton wasn’t caught for PEDs – weed was the culprit in this one, I imagine.
And this is his third time testing positives LOL BTW I thought the rule was third time and your banned?
That’s for PEDs, not for fun stuff
What are you supposed to say if you knowingly took it? “Yea I took roids, and I’m proud of it”. They’re already in a bad situation, and they’re not going to make it worse.
Singleton can’t lay off the weed
Hey the astros might be like the late 1990s Yankees all on steroids.
Typical ALstros.
World Series Champs that are about to repeat with the best lineup and starting rotation in baseball.
Boston and Cleveland destroy the Astros rotation, which has Charlie Morton in it. Gerrit Cole is meh too.
Yeah, now we know how they won the WS.
They may win in 2018,but then the wheels start to fall of when 2019 comes and they have to start paying their players,small market team like Houston will find it hard to keep all those young players,Dallas and Charlie Morton will walk after 2018 and that will be just the beginning of the end ,so enjoy while it last,come 2019 Jose Altuve will get paid!!!!!!!!!!! today’s market value,and it will not be in Houston.
Because free agents are just flying off the board with huge contracts, right? The market is correcting itself this offseason. And they play in a small market? Fourth largest market outside of new York and la. Astros will resign Altuve, Correa, Springer and Bregman and build around a still-deep farm system.
News flash, Houston is not a small market! It’s the fourth largest city in America and the fanbase is growing exponentially with the influx of Latin American talent.
This guy has wasted his talent with his antics, grow up Mr. Singleton..don’t be Josh Hamilton Jr.
If it’s true he likes to smoke pot. That is an unfair comparison.
It is also unfair they penalize someone for using a substance that isn’t illegal in most places now and is also not an addictive substance like cocaine or alcohol. Both of which can ruin your body mind and life
Pot is far from a performance enhancer and anyone who can perform well while using it should be awarded an extra medal.
That might be the man’s problem tho. I love to smoke it. But if you gave me 10 million. I’d lay off it for a while and focus on training
P.s. before anyone comments about it being addictive. Cheeseburgers are addictive too then. So is sex. Anything is addictive if you’re weak minded.
Marijuana does not in any way shape or form create a physical addiction. It’s a “want” not a “need”
Potheads “want” it. They don’t shrivel up crying in the fetal position with cold sweats when they try to stop using it
Cocaine abusers “need” the drug as it creates a physical dependence. Alcohol included. Heroin. Meth. Hell even cigarettes.
No one’s suspending anyone for lighting up a Marlboro after the game. And yes there’s players who still smoke cigarettes even tho chew has been banned from stadiums
You’re not entirely wrong but youre mischaracterizing certain key aspects of addiction.
Most notably cheeseburgers and sex are addictive the same as cocaine and heroine. All 4 Will result in your brain building a path between receptors for those items and pleasure centers of the brain. Pot doesnt cause your brain to “reprogram” itself.
The other big misconception I see is pot can cause withdrawal and somebody to be curled up in a ball on the floor. The difference is one stress is mostly mental while the other is both physical and mental stress.
So no Singleton is not an analogue to Hamilton and in my opinion probably doesnt deserve the suspension(s) because our views and laws are archaic when it comes to that substance.
Gee I guess I must be some super powered brain then. As I’m on week 7 of willingly not using marijuana after 20 years of daily use. And I feel the same as I did when I smoked my last joint.
No mood swings. No irritability. No cold sweats and certainly no curling up in the fetal position begging for someone to help me.
And as you’ll notice. I pointed out the cheeseburger/sex examples as weak minded people. It’s not a chemical addiction or physical addiction. But a mental one that anyone should be able to overcome
We control our brains. Not vise versa. It’s the joy of being human.
A) youre annecdotal experience doesnt outweigh scientific research. My source is litterally a class called science of addiction. Yours seems to amount to personal experience and perception.
B) We very much do not control our brains, our brains absolutely control us. If youre going to argue with somebody nicely pointing our flaws in logic do yourself a favor and use google first. Your brain is making you look like a fool right now. Although if you think you control your brain this probably is a regular occurance for you. Keep your ignorance to yourself next time please.
“We control our brains” – NOPE. You control yours, but everyone’s brains are different and you don’t get to tell other people how their brain works. You learn this in like the 7th grade.
I also very much doubt you haven’t gotten stoned in the last 7 weeks, maybe 7 minutes.
I agree to disagree. We are all the same.
Some of us just choose not to work hard at the faults or weakness and use excuses as a crutch.
I used to be one of those people as a youth.
Then I grew up.
And personal attacks accomplish what?
You had the choice not to be a douchbag. But you chose to.
Your brain didn’t force you.
You just took the easiest most satisfying way out.
Nice meeting you too!!
He seems close to fitting this recent study…… sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S24519022173…
Good for you. I did for about 15 years all day everyday before quitting basically because my tolerance levels were so high that it took serious stuff and methods to maintain, basically it just got old. Like you said, I found quitting to be relatively easy. The only challenge for me was not being able to sleep for like a week. Would just lay in bed and have a billion thoughts racing all night long. Now it’s been four months and really very little difference of being a non smoker now. I feel and do everything the exact same I did before, now I just do it sober.
Did you grow up before or after you logged into a seperate account with a similar screename to support your own posts? You’re either doing this on purpose and are nothing more than a troll or you really believe what you’re saying and a lost cause. You choose, I don’t negotiate with fact terrorists.
Chemical dependence or not, it’s still does bad things to your body.
Such as?
With the notable exception of drawing smoke into your lungs. Which we inherently accept the risk of?
And you can mitigate that risk by using bongs and having the water “clean” the smoke prior to entry into your body.
Or eating it. (But that’s a totally different high as your body metabolizes it into another more psychoactive chemical)
Sure is fun tho.
Name one. Don’t worry I’ll wait.
Devils advocate.
We are at risk of lung damage
But I have yet to see a study that shows lung cancer as a risk.
Smokers (cigarettes) get lung cancer from the multitude of added chemicles used to cure and create the addictive properties of tobacco
Native Indians never had wide spread lung cancer issues as they smoked pure tobacco.
But there also wasn’t much science or study back then either. So who knows!!
Would be nice if an unbiased 3rd party would be allowed to conduct tests. But that isn’t widely happening
You are smack on right,very well said in a hypocritical conservative society
he needs north of 100 mil to be in Hamilton’s class.
Think the league might start investigating the astros.
I know paulino was hit last year now singleton and deetz.
Seems like the league might investigate..
Investigate what? They are suspending the moron players, what else is there to do?
Deetz- PED
Paulino- PED
Singleton- drugs 2013, 2017
Arauz- drugs 2017
Nelson- drugs 2017
McCurry- drugs 2016
Fidel- drugs 2016
Wik- drugs 2016
Walter- drugs 2015
Joyce- drugs 2015
Alaniz- drugs 2014
Quezada- 2014- might be PED
Martinez- 2014 .- might be PED
Fernandez, Martinez, Toney, Hamburger- drugs 2013
Former astros such as rollins, dimock, almonte, hoes, pinales also have received suspensions once shortly (within a year) of being away from the astros.
One of a handful of teams that seems to have drug suspensions yearly since 2013.
Hate to break it to you, but astros have a serious problem with drugs in their system. Other teams do as well, but this post is about the astros players being suspended.
Weed is a plant and shouldn’t be illegal period
Forgot Mitch Einertson, failed drug test twice, suspended in 2013.
Yeah. Astros players might have a drug problem…
Einertson was released…I’m surprised Singleton hasn’t been
The Dude abides.
Lol one of a handful of teams. God dejota is a moron. The dude literally said one of a handful of teams meaning other teams have this issue as well. Take your crap reading skills elsewhere dejota. Go blind fold yourself and play in traffic you pot junky.
But it is and rules should be followed if you wish to maintain gainful employment in that business.
That’s kinda brutal. He did spend the time looking up his point at least instead of just making chit up
I agree but have to downvote simply because u challenged us to.
I feel so effing bad for your students man. I hope your handle is a lie…
I feel bad for your immediate family and relatives. They got screwed having to be related to you man. No doubt your mom regrets the decision to keep you. I’d disown you if you were my son.
Lol, sorry man gonna have to try harder than that to hurt my feelings. Good luck with that attitude and troll brain.
So out of curiosity, how many removed comments result in a ban? I see dejota had their comment banned.
They are suspending the moron players *that got caught so far*
Fixed for you
yes, because it’s only the astros players that get caught, and no one else. Also, these two aren’t even on the 40-man roster, or will be in the future, so it’s really not that big of a deal
Deetz is on the 40 man.
Deetz- PED

Is this article about other teams? Oh, its about the astros. My comment doesn’t eliminate the league investigating say the Mariners who also seem to have a high number of drug related suspensions according to BA.
Stop copying and pasting this list with no other context…
Players got busted and tested positive for drugs listed under the banned substances by mlb. Context WTF do you mean context? Banned is banned.
That is a long list however, I would imagine you can find similar results for almost every team. We just don’t hear about it much because it’s usually minor league players. I’m an Os fan and we hear about it happening to 2-3 guys almost every season.
2 PED suspensions and a more than likely weed suspension isn’t exactly what I’d call egregious. That’s about the norm for PED pops.
I wonder, and this is all mere speculation, how feast able is that the results can be faked in order to save the team some money.
I remember people were saying this was a possibility when A-Rod got his suspension a few years ago, implying the Yankees would intentionally spike his drink in the clubhouse or something to get out of the remaining 80 or so million at the time.
It’s not silly to think someone would do something like this to get out of millions of dollars owed to someone who will never live up to that value.
Never heard that but can’t say I would be shocked were it to happen. After Tonya Harding had a thug bust up her competition leg on a huge stage we all saw that anything is possible when dealing with humans.
Anything is possible.
Singleton’s suspension will save the Astros more than half of his salary for this season. That’s not so bad for the organization.
That is a whopping $1M. They’re owned by billionaires and the team makes hundreds of millions of profit every year. Who cares.
Singleton smoking some expensive joints.
Ded
He’s being paid $2MM (off 40-man) and is suspended for drug abuse, this is stupidity at its best.
Why is the outcome so different between Mejia and Singleton?
PED vs Drugs of Abuse
PED is about cheating, doing blow and smoking weed are more about addiction so different penalties.
Hmmm, ok, thanks!
But life ban to 100 games, still is way soft to Singleton, it’s the third time, and he’s ‘only’ suspended by 100 games? At the very least 1 year, no?
Weed marijuana ganja pot green gold is NOT addictive.
I’ve been smoking it daily for 20 years. Yes. Daily. Multiple times daily. In various forms. Joints. Bongs pipes hashish shatter edibles even
I just recently left Canada to come to Bali Indonesia for 3 months (I’m still here) (I’m a functional pothead) and it’s HIGHLY illegal here. I knew coming here I could not partake in my favorite recreational drug.
I feel fine. No withdrawn symptoms and willingly made the choice to come here knowing I’d be going months without it
People really need to stop this addictive substance nonsense.
Science is your friend. Our bodies are designed for it. We have cabinoid receptors in our body that’s only sole function is to accept THC into our bodies. No other chemicals fit or use those receptors
It’s like trying to fit a square peg in a round hole so to speak.
Dude, just stop. You’re just as bad as those people who bring Trump or Obama into every conversation. This isn’t about the legality of marijuana, it’s about a failed drug test – of which we have no idea what he tested positive for. Cool, you’re a pothead, good for you. We don’t need to read it every other post.
The land of the free right!!!
Lol.
So short sighted and weak minded.
When people are passionate about a topic. They tend to continue talking
I am passionate about this topic.
Nice to meet You!!
I’m weak minded because I don’t think it’s necessary to beat the dead horse in regards to marijuana legalization on a baseball forum? Okay then. I’m actually very open-minded and I have no issues with marijuana or it’s legalization, but you’re a broken record and it’s pretty damn annoying.
Your words say otherwise
Attacking me based on my beliefs is archaic and not needed.
Trying to impose your view in me is akin to what you’re complaining about.
But nice try friend.
Next offense he will be staying with Mejia
Weed vs peds
This was taken from MLB Drug Policy: “Third offense involving a Stimulant, DHEA or a Drug of Abuse: One-year suspension”
So, why 100 games?
Still don’t get it…
From 2014 Minor League Program: “Second offense: if the Prohibited Substance is a Drug of Abuse or a Stimulant, a 100-game suspension; and Third offense: Permanent suspension from Major and Minor League Baseball. For convictions or guilty pleas involving a Drug of Abuse, a Player may be eligible for reinstatement if he successfully completes a Treatment Program. The decision whether to reinstate a Player shall be in the sole discretion of the Commissioner.”
Has did changed or am I wrong?
Stimulant is definitely 100 games for your 3rd time. Positive on that one. DHEA is a range isn’t it? 75-90 for your 3rd? DoA is left more open to penalty, I don’t even think there is specific suspension terms for a DoA violation. Since its based of addiction and can fall into the disease category they leave it more open for judgements.
Not only was it different in terms of what Mejia and Singleton used, but Mejia used PED’s 3 times in a row.
I’m sure it will be blamed on the Cardinals
So it’s his 3rd time
and he’s still lying
Butttt Jon Singleton is the next Giambi… wait
So if Singleton gets the life ban in the minors the Astros are off the hook for his contract?
Smoking weed in MLB is legal. That’s some union these players have.
Actually weed is not legal MLB, but don’t let facts get in your way.
YES
MLB is a 420 sport.
True story.
No, it’s not. Marijuana is considered a “drug of abuse,” therefor it is against MLB rules. However, they do not test for “drugs of abuse” without reasonable cause. That doesn’t make it legal for MLB players though.
No one gets tested for weed in MLB. No one gets suspended for weed in MLB.
MLB is a 420 sport.
And you are a Grade A idiot.
I agree he is Grade A. No one of intelligence, with his history, writes a baseball blog that is 99% hogwash and vitriol and then whines because the baseball community won’t take him seriously. That said, it pains me to say that he is not far off. It is almost impossible to get suspended for marijuana, hash or THC in the MLB.
All of that is thanks to the MLBPA. Much like the fought against stringent testing for roids and HGH prior to Biogenesis, the have fought against suspension for those three I mentioned. If a player tests positive he will be placed in a treatment program. If he violates the program he can be fined but suspension is almost nonexistent.
The Fangraphs article is old but still relevant fangraphs.com/blogs/marijuana-and-the-joint-drug-a…
This is the current JDA mlbplayers.com/pdf9/5450924.pdf
It is not clear to me that Singleton’s 2 million is in jeopardy. In order to take him off the 40-man roster the Astros had to outright him. For example if you look at baseball reference, his salary for last year and this year coming up are listed as: “$2M paid by Houston Astros (off 40-man)”. In fact, the only reason he could even be tested for a drug of abuse is because he is off the 40-man; players on the 40-man roster are not subject to those tests.
My read on this is that whatever minor league salary he would have accrued will not be paid out but he will still receive his 2M from the previous contract, and his subsequent buyout money for 2019 through 2021. Would appreciate clarification from anyone who knows differently.
article has been updated. Singleton won’t receive the $2mm salary (probably prorated for 100 games)
All suspensions are without pay.
Yes, but that contract is no longer active. He effectively got released two years ago. So I’m curious if there is actually a source confirming he will not get that money, or if it is speculation by the author.
From Major League Baseball’s Minor League Drug Prevention And Treatment Program : “Players suspended under the Program shall not receive any pay for the period beginning on the date of the first game of the suspension and ending on the date of the last game of the suspension. “
Are you smoking too? his deal has another year still. it was a 5 year deal. just because he isnt on the 40 man doesnt mean anything. he still played in the minors. they didnt release and pay him in full. they still have him
he didn’t get released, just outrighted
His contract is in fact active. He signed an early guaranteed contract, not a year at a time pre-arb re-up. He just doesn’t get paid for the 100 games, so a little more than half his salary for 2018. Just because he was out righted off the 40 man doesn’t mean his contract goes away
While not relevant in this case, if you have a positive DoA test result in the past 12 months a panel can decide to test you at will. So if you do it as a minor leaguer you can still be tested in the majors for DoA. Granted the system is set up to catch the stupid, but MLB’r so on occasion get tested for DoA.
Not accusing anyone of anything, but here’s a thought. Since he is wasted money in the minors and the minors are the only ones that get tested for “drugs of abuse,” wouldn’t it make sense for someone on the Astros to dose him in order to get out of paying him the money? We sometimes forget reality with all these numbers thrown around, but people have committed far worse crimes for far less money than the couple million that will be saved with this suspension.
Was just going to post the same thing. Likely? No. Possible? Yes.
Also he’s admitted he’s a Marijuana addict, google it. I wouldn’t say it’s impossible that the Astros poked the MLB to do something about this pothead.
You’re a douche eh? People so adamantly against weed either got the wrong kind or had too much at once.. it’s an herb and from the earth.. before you knock it try it first
Well I don’t think they drugged him by any means, but supplying his friends with some drugs is very possible especially when it is known that he likes to partake anyway. Weed is not addictive, but peer pressure is very difficult to say no to. Especially when you already have a predilection to it.
Weed isn’t physically addictive, but it definitely is psychologically addictive. And I “tried” it every day for eight years, so I have a pretty good idea of what I speak.
hello douche. have you tried smoking poison ivy? it’s an all natural plant from the earth so it must clearly be good for you.
what a piss poor arguement.
It would make zero sense. If the Astros wanted out of his contract they would have by now.
Think about it. The value of a win is somewhere around $8-9 million. Singleton’s contract up to this point has been extremely affordable and the worth the cost of carrying him, based on the slimmest off chance he could put it all together, get called up and provides solid value for the team. He could go on a 50 game tear and provide value in excess of $10 million if all went right.
$2 million a year and $10 million overall is a drop in the bucket for a team like the Astros, even more so considering he isn’t taking up a spot on the 40-man roster.
If they wanted him gone he would be released, plain and simple.
weed is not addictive. it’s just very enjoyable.
I might believe him if it was his 1st time being busted, but 3rd? lol
I take it you didn’t read the article very closely?
Interesting, Canada will have legal pot in July. It would be interesting to see if MLB could uphold a ban on a legal, non performance inhancing drug. Blue Jays may have an in for all MLB potheads.
Several States have legal pot laws but MLB has chosen (along with the union) to go by US Federal law, So unless they change the joint agreement players are subject to Federal drugs laws They don’t randomly test for DoA but test if suspected of abuse or if in the drug treatment program.
Neck beard still smoking that weed I see
This is clearly not a P.E. in the D.
It’s hard to grasp what Singleton was thinking. He’s at the backend of a contract that’s paying him way more than anything he’s ever likely to see again. He forfeits roughly $1.25M. That’s a lot of money for the opportunity for another high.
Ahem…… I think that Players should be allowed to take whatever substances they want.
as long as they don’t get an unfair advantage, right?… (PED).
What ever substance. PEDs included yes
Tobacco is also a plant-illegal to chew
Kids been stoned since he signed that deal.
“Got 10 mill and spent it all on weed/call me Jon Singleton”
$3 million on weed and $7 on munchies
Let me say first and foremost that I have never knowingly posted a comment of any kind.
Got to admit it’s kind of awesome that Singleton is being forced to play baseball to keep his 10 million, so he just keeps smoking weed nonstop because it’s funny. He wasn’t even good at AA last year, he doesn’t care at all about baseball, but he has to play out his contract to get the millions. This is like a movie plotline. I hope he gets paid all his contract and retires and immediately opens up a weed cafe in Denver.
More like Justin-Turner Overweight, like the band members.
I swear, I didn’t know the gun was loaded…
10 Million? That’s a little overkill for a weed budget, but rock on dude.
The Astros Pharma system
#FAKENEWS
To everyone making cracks about Singleton smoking weed, thus causing his latest drug violation: LEARN about that which you speak.
Chlorodehydromethyltestosterone is an anabolic–androgenic steroid. NOT weed; it’s a STEROID.
You may want to learn of what you speak and read. Singleton was suspended for a drug of abuse…Deetz was suspended for the AAS dehydrochlormethyltestosterone. Two different suspensions….two different players.
