MLB had 2 positive tests in past year for banned stimulants (The Associated Press)

NEW YORK (AP) -- Two major leaguers had positive tests for banned stimulants and one for another banned substance, according to the annual report of the sport's drug program administrator.

The players were not identified because of the penalty for first offenses for stimulants and the drug DHEA is six additional urine tests over the next year rather than a suspension.

Dr. Jeffrey M. Anderson's report, released Tuesday, showed there were 111 therapeutic use exemptions given to 40-man roster players to treat Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, down from 113 in the previous year and 119 in the year ending with the 2013 World Series.
