Rox Minor League duo suspended

Bowman, Lowe each handed 50-game ban on Tuesday

Two Minor Leaguers from the Rockies' organization -- first baseman Brent Bowman and outfielder Shane Lowe -- were suspended for 50 games each on Tuesday after testing positive for the use of amphetamines, Major League Baseball announced.

Drug Policy in Baseball

The suspensions came under the auspices of baseball's nine-year-old Minor League Drug and Treatment Program and will be served at the outset of the 2010 season.

Both played this year for the short-season Class A Tri-City Dust Devils of the Northwest League.
