Elijah Dukes, who is now pursuing a career as a rapper, says he smoked marijuana before games with the Nationals. "He says he was blackballed by baseball after he came forward last year with allegations that fellow ball players were smuggling drugs onto chartered aircraft, using drugs in hotel rooms after flights and how he would sometimes smoke marijuana before home games when he played for the Washington Nationals," writes the Tampa Tribune. In November, Dukes was arrested and charged with contempt for allegedly failing to pay two women child support.
