Ex-Astros pitcher Octavio Dotel linked to Dominican drug ring

Closing pitcher Octavio Dotel #29 of the Houston Astros delivers the ball in the ninth inning against the Chicago Cubs June 1, 2004, at Wrigley Field in Chicago, Illinois. SANTO DOMINGO, Dominican Republic - Authorities in the Dominican Republic have arrested former MLB pitcher Octavio Dotel and cited ex-infielder Luis Castillo for their alleged links to a drug-trafficking and money-laundering ring, officials said Tuesday. "Eighteen other people are linked to this network, including athletes and baseball players Octavio Dotel and Luis Castillo," Rodrguez said in a news conference, calling it "the most important drug trafficking structure in the region." Dominican officials say a 1,050-kilogram shipment of drugs heading from South America to Puerto Rico was one of several seizures attributed to this ring. There was no immediate comment from Dotel, who set a record for playing on more MLB teams than any other player.
