I’m guessing this one won’t be as contentious as the Braun one, but still.
Remember yesterday how minor leaguer James Dowdy was suspended for 50 games for refusing a drug test? Well, he tells Deadspin that he didn’t refuse anything. Dowdy says that the urine collector — a job we didn’t think much about until earlier this week — went to the wrong house:
Today Dowdy reached out to us to dispute MLB’s version of events. He says he never refused to take a drug test, and that baseball’s testers never got in touch with him … ”They never came to the address that I listed for my offseason living,” Dowdy says. “They went to my mom’s house. I’m 28 years old. I don’t live with my mom! They messed this up in so many ways.”
Now would be a good time for all of you people who say that the procedures don’t matter to weigh in. I mean, a drug tester was there! And Dowdy did not provide a sample! This suspension must stand, right?

Craig is still hurting from being wrong about the Ryan Braun issue, trying to tie a similarity in policy between these two cases is silly….
