EL NUEVO DIARIO, SANTO DOMINGO. – The owner of Yordy Cabrera Baseball Academy, accused of the death of the young baseball prospect Ismael Ureña Pérez, 14, broke his silence and defended himself against the serious accusations against him, ensuring that he is innocent of giving the deceased player steroids for horses.
