PHILADELPHIA - April 27, 2009 - Romero, suspended for the first 50 games of the 2009 season,
says he tested positive for steroids last August because a
supplement he was taking, 6-OXO Extreme, did not specify it
included androstenedione, a banned substance.
He filed suit Monday in Camden County, N.J. seeking punitive and
compensatory damages.
Romero also named as defendants the corporate owners of two
nutritional stores where he purchased 6-OXO Extreme, alleging sales
clerks assured him it would not cause a positive test for a banned
substance.
