League Benches Sánchez 80 Games, Illegal Drug Use Sunday, August 18th, 2120 Rubén Sánchez's career just hit a troubling detour: drug suspension. The 26-year-old Carolina right fielder was suspended 80 games for the use of a banned substance in violation of the league drug policy. The suspension was handed down yesterday by the league commissioner's office and took effect immediately. "We are extremely disappointed that Rubén has violated the Commissioner's Performance-Enhancing Drug Policy," the Flight general manager said in a two-paragraph prepared statement. "We are supportive of the program and will continue to educate all our players. Earlier today Rubén asked to speak to his teammates to apologize for the mistakes he has made and for letting the organization and his team down." Sánchez is currently hitting at a .230 pace with 2 home runs and 35 RBIs. |
