NEW YORK - Baseball management and players are considering adding fertility drugs such as Clomid and Nolvadex their banned list.
The drugs can be used to stimulate testosterone production after steroid use. Clomid usually is used as a female fertility medication and Nolvadex is a breast cancer treatment.
The players’ association confirmed the possibility of banning the fertility drugs, which was first reported Tuesday by the Daily News, but said talks are ongoing.
