Los Angeles Dodgers relief pitcher Ronald Belasario hasn't pitched in the Majors since 2010. He missed all of last season because of via issues and now the problem is revealed as a failed drug test. Belasario was busted for snorting some good ol' fashioned nose candy...yep, cocaine. He now faces a 25-game suspension to begin the 2012 season. And like many people that fail the piss test, he claims that it was a one time thing. Sure it was Ronald. It's your lie, tell it like you want. Maybe he can go do a couple lines with Ron Washington, Darryl Strawberry, Dwight Gooden, and the ghost of Steve Howe."I don't have a problem with any drugs. It was a one-time thing."~Ronald Belasario
