    Welington Castillo: 80-game suspension

    ChiSox C Castillo gets 80-game ban for PEDs

    White Sox catcher Welington Castillo has been suspended 80 games for violating the league's joint drug agreement, Major League Baseball announced Thursday.
    In the best of times, our days are numbered, anyway. And it would be a crime against Nature for any generation to take the world crisis so solemnly that it put off enjoying those things for which we were presumably designed in the first place, and which the gravest statesmen and the hoarsest politicians hope to make available to all men in the end: I mean the opportunity to do good work, to fall in love, to enjoy friends, to sit under trees, to read, to hit a ball and bounce the baby.

      When they stop getting paid.

        To be fair, he's not getting paid during his suspension... so that's already in place.

          Exactly. And i'm sure that's when he will learn. After losing 80 games worth of salary, most players don't want to raise the stakes up to 162 games by failing another drug test. Especially if they have a lot of guaranteed money left on their contract.

            This is the first time I read a ped statement which contained the following:


            ...The positive test resulted from an extremely poor decision that I, and I alone, made. I take full responsibility for my conduct...


            Doesn't make what he did better but at least he didn't treat the public, his team mates and the sport like complete idiots (are you listening rob cano???).

              I appreciate this a lot.
