Oddly enough for Colabello. Teammate and best friend Kevin Pillar has come to his aid. Putting the MLB on blast for this saying that following Colabello’s suspension “The league has to do some soul searching here”. He said and then continued with “I know Chris on the field and I know Chris off the field, and he would not knowingly take steroids”.

Bayleigh has been a baseball fan for 10 years. His passion for the game is matched by few.
People are speculating on why one MIGHT use this drug, but no one knows any circumstances about Colabello 's use.
I think this piece has a good take:
http://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/columnist/bob-nightengale/2016/04/25/mlb-ped-drugs-chris-colabello-chemists-victor-conte/83513014/Still, something about this is strange. Colabello is at least the fourth major leaguer busted for that drug since last September, but yet, Conte struggles with the concept that Turinabol is making a comeback.
Conte instead wonders if this is the latest wave of athletes utilizing inferior chemists.
Find a good one - as 14 of the 16 players ensared in the 2013 Biogenesis scandal taught us - and you can avoid detection by baseball’s drug testers.
“If you’re smart, you’ll never get caught,’’ Conte told USA TODAY Sports. “The research shows that if you go home from the ballpark, and take a fast-acting testosterone, it will peak at 1 in the morning, get down before the 4-to-1 TE ratio by 4 in the morning, and by the time you get to the ballpark, you can’t test positive. That’s what (Alex Rodriguez) and all of those guys in Biogenesis were doing.
Turinabol is such a old school / long lasting /easily detectable PED it really doesn't make any sense to use it. Unless you are buying something fancier and the sleazy guy producing it / selling it has contaminated it with something.
