In 2007, Milwaukee Brewers OF Brendan Katin, with Double-A Huntsville at the time, tested positive for steroids and appealed. Two months later, the ruling was overturned. In 2007 in the Minor Leagues, players would submit two urine samples - marked "A" and "B." Katin was notified that he tested positive for high levels of testosterone, and he said the "B" sample was then tested for synthetic drugs. It came back negative. Now, if a player has a high level, Major League Baseball will automatically test for synthetic drugs before contacting the player. He never got an explanation for the high levels of testosterone, but said it may have been caused by having a few drinks the night before the test.
