Red Bulls' Conway, Parke suspended for drugs
3 hours ago
NEW YORK (AP) — Major League Soccer has suspended New York Red Bulls goalkeeper Jon Conway and defender Jeff Parke — the first players in the league's history to be penalized for using performance-enhancing drugs.
The two players were banned Thursday for 10 league games each. They tested positive for androstatriendione and boldenone metabolites after purchasing and using an over-the-counter nutritional supplement from a vitamin store that is part of a national chain, the league said.
Each player also was fined 10 percent of his salary. Conway makes $115,000 this season, and Parke has a base salary of $57,488.

I had no idea those drugs were banned! MLS just lost their best goalkeeper.
My sweet Jonathan! I'm just appalled.
