Is the Dominican Republic a dirty country?

It took 2 minutes and $19 for Daily News to get A-Rod's drugs in Dominican Republic

Need steroids? No problem down here in the country where A-Rod spent much of his childhood.
I walked into the Farmacia Carmina, which sits on a nondescript corner of Avenida Independencia and Pasteur in downtown Santo Domingo.

It is one of five pharmacies within a three-block radius where anyone - from regular Joes to millionaire baseball players like Alex Rodriguez - can walk in and buy anabolic steroids. Some are open 2-4/7.

No prescription? No sweat.

All that was required was my first name.

The transaction took less than two minutes. The pharmacist handed over one 100 mg ampule of testosterone enanthate, a 2.5 ml. syringe and a package of 10 Methandrostenolone pills, the powerful oral anabolic steroid known as Dianabol.
