Heyman and Rosenthal confirm.

[BTS]

wow!

[Dr. Dinger]

Kinda random that he would get popped for this so late in his career. Makes you wonder when he started and why. He's got his mega contract, he was on a Hall of Fame trajectory... it's a head scratcher.

[G-Snarls]

Yikes

[HealthDream007]

Why couldn't this have happened when he was on the Yankees, damn.

Or last week when we were playing Seattle...

Cano suspension is for a diuretic, which is seen as a masking agent. suspension is treated as a PED tho.

Stoeten is a dumbass. He thinks the dozen games that Cano will miss vs. the Angels will have a bigger impact on our WC chances than the 80 games that the Mariners now have to play without Cano.

He's using drugs since day one

[bowld]

So, no playoffs allowed for Cano if Seattle makes it? Also, looks like he will lose $12M in salary. OUCH

Where's the Jose Ramirez suspension you were previewing?

I'd love to know if you're being serious or not.

It would be refreshing to see a player own it for once.

I've been waiting on this one since Ang mentioned it. I believe there is some truth to it and wont be surprised if its the same drug. It probably takes time to investigate cases where a masking agent is being used.

[Brownie19]

 

It seems so sketchy that he doesn't say what ailment he was taking Furosemide for. Seems like he's hiding something.

[TBJ12]

Who was the last Yankee suspended at the MLB level for a confirmed failed test?

[Maahfaace]

It would be refreshing to see a player own it for once.

 

Other than Andy Pettite, I can't think of another player who has.

Is VLad Jr ?

Sounds like the sole purpose of taking Furosemide is to hide somethimg.

I hate to be that guy, but that seems a little strange to me.

[Dr. Dinger]

Guys, I'm sure plenty of star athletes with $240M contracts go to sketchy doctors in the Dominican Republic to get drugs to treat "various medical conditions."

 

Sounds like an honest mistake.

Because he's been doing it forever like most. If anyone thinks it's under 30% using still they are really ignorant to professional sports.

If he is he's doing it all wrong.

Hurl - what % of NBA and NHL athletes do you think are using PED's?

[Brownie19]

If he is he's doing it all wrong.

 

wat? he's one of the best hitting prospects of all-time. If he's taking PED's, what on earth is he doing wrong? Or are you trying to make some weak ass joke about how he's fat and should be on diet pills?

[King]

Hurl - what % of NBA and NHL athletes do you think are using PED's?

The NHL has suspended like 3, players ever for PEDs. The drug testing system is a joke.

I can't speak for Hurl, but anything under 90% would absolutely shock me. And I mean the full range of PEDs, not just the obvious steroids.
