Romero, drug-makers settle over 2009 ban

"Three years after filing a suit against the makers of the supplement that caused him to fail a drug test and sit through a 50-game suspension, J.C. Romero has reached a settlement, according to the New York Daily News.

"Justice is served," Romero told the Daily News. "I didn't cheat. Some other people were being negligent and I had to pay the price."

Romero sat out the first 50 games of the 2009 season after playing an integral role in the Phillies' 2008 World Series title. Romero barely pitched in '09 and wasn't the same in 2010 or 2011, when his career-long control problems simply became too much for the Phils to overlook."
