Dodgers reliever Josh Ravin suspended 80 games for PEDs

Dodgers pitcher Josh Ravin received an 80-game suspension without pay Monday after testing positive for Growth Hormone Releasing Peptide 2 (GHRP-2).

Ravin fractured his left arm in an automobile accident in spring training and had not been with the team since camp broke. He is on the 60-day disabled list.

“We are disappointed to hear that Josh has violated Major League Baseball’s Joint Drug Prevention and Treatment Program,” the Dodgers said in a statement. “The Dodgers fully support MLB’s policy toward eliminating performance enhancing substances from the sport and, as per the Joint Drug Program, we will have no further comment on this suspension.
