Cubs right-handed reliever David Garner was suspended 100 games for testing positive for a “drug of abuse” for the third time. This is truly disappointing because Garner was suspended 50 games for failing a drug test a second time in Spring Training and he was close to finishing that suspension. Now, he’ll miss the whole season.
It should be stressed that Garner has not tested positive for a PED, but rather for a “street drug” like marijuana or cocaine, although MLB never reveals the actual substance tested positive for in such cases.
