This is why I don’t buy my drugs at Costco. You try to save a little money by buying in bulk and suddenly they want to say you’re a dealer. :(

Maybe he was just doing the drug-mule’ing (sp) that Americans refuse to do. Or, he did it out of love.

Apparently, he wasn’t caught by accident. He was under investigation.

Are you insinuating that the quality of these drugs wasn’t their best?

This incident was probably just a rich MLB player bringing some of the best drugs for his personal stash in case the Trump wall creates a shortage.

Loaiza had one good year (probably fueled by PED’s) but was a very average MLB pitcher otherwise. He still made plenty enough money to live well in Mexico for life - sad that he felt the need to get involved in the national business (aka drug trade).
