DETROIT-Cubs catcher Geovany Soto tested positive for marijuana use while playing for Puerto Rico during the World Baseball Classic last March, the International Baseball Federation announced Thursday.
Soto released a statement saying he was "embarrassed by my lapse in judgment."
"While I full acknowledge my inappropriate behavior, I want to assure my fans and my family that this was an isolated incident," he said.
Soto will be banned from international play for two years, but the positive drug test does not have any impact on his major league career. The Cubs released an unsigned statement indicating Soto has been drug tested regularly and this was the only positive test.
