[新聞] Tejada To Be Suspended For 105 Games
By Jeff Todd [August 17, 2013 at 12:56pm CST]
Royals infielder Miguel Tejada will be suspended for 105 games by MLB for the
use of the banned amphetamine Adderall, Jeff Passan of Yahoo Sports reports.
Passan explains that, as Tejada had already tested positive in the past, two
more recent positive tests provided the basis for the suspension, which is
the third-longest in MLB history. (The second positive test resulted in a
25-game ban, with the third adding an additional 80 games.)
Tejada has elected not to appeal the suspension. Already on the 60-day DL,
his suspension will nevertheless be applied over this season's 41 remaining
games. Passan says that the 39-year-old former MVP is expected to retire
rather than sit out the 64 additional games at the beginning of next year.
After failing to make a big-league appearance in 2012, Tejada signed a minor
league deal with the Royals this past off-season. Appearing primarily at
second and third, Tejada had posted a reasonably productive .288/.317/.378
line over 167 plate appearances for the Royals this season.
