Denver Post columnist Mark Kiszla had his credentials revoked after examining a bottle of the dietary supplement androstenedione from Colorado Rockies star Dante Bichette's locker. Bichette accepted Kiszla's apology, but the Baseball Writers Association of America stripped the journalist's credentials. The episode follows discussions triggered by reports that Mark McGwire uses the supplement, which MLB does not ban.
