It's Matt Lawton

The AL playoff OF rumoured to be on steroids is a Yank: AP Reports:

NEW YORK (AP) -- Former All-Star outfielder Matt Lawton was suspended Wednesday for a positive steroids test, becoming the 12th player penalized for violating major league baseball's policy.

....

Lawton said the positive test occurred after he was acquired by the Yankees but did not answer other questions.

The substance he tested positive for was boldenone, a person familiar with the tests results said, speaking on condition of anonymity because drug-test results in baseball are supposed to remain secret.

``It's a veterinary steroid. I think it's primarily used in horses,'' Dr. Gary Wadler, a professor of sports medicine at New York University and an expert on performance-enhancing drugs. ``It's used like any other anabolic steroid. It's basically injectable.''
