following a positive test for a performance-enhancing substance.
The nine-year veteran tested positive for EPO, a hormone that
stimulates the red-blood cell production that was used by Lance
Armstrong and other doping cyclists.
Castillo was hitting .267 with 6 home runs and 15 RBI. He was making 7.25 million dollars this season with the White Sox. He will lose around 3.5 million dollars due to the suspension.
