It was pot...


How'd you find that? I was kind of assuming because it stays in the body longer but I hadn't found anything anywhere.

So he got a 50 game suspension for smoking pot?
Was it a repeat offense?

I still would be surprised if he got a 50 game suspension for a first offense of pot smoking.


With the new rules put in last year after looking the other way on performance enhancers for a decade, I'm pretty sure first offense on anything banned is 50 games, I think 2nd offense is a full season, and 3rd is a lifetime ban from baseball. Edit: I'm not positive, though, it looks like goirish did more research.

I think he's taking the Doc Gooden comparisons a little too seriously...let's hope it's just pot and not the stuff Doc enjoyed...

How else could his little frame hit 100 on the gun in games? The dudes wired up!
