Seattle Mariners infielder Tim Beckham has been suspended 80 games without pay after testing positive for a performance-enhancing substance.
Major League Baseball announced the suspension Tuesday, effective immediately.
Beckham, the former No. 1 overall draft selection, tested positive for Stanozolol, according to MLB.
"I was given a product from a trusted source, who had advised me that it was safe to take," Beckham said in a statement. "Regrettably, the product was tainted."
Beckham also said he presented his case to an independent arbitrator and that he is "disappointed in the result."
"I accept full responsibility for putting myself in this position," Beckham said.
