Robinson Cano said he doesn't "really pay attention" to the negative comments about his performance-enhancing drug suspension, and instead he "looks ahead" and only worries about the support he has gotten from those close to him, according to Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times.
The eight-time All-Star apologized to the fans and his teammates when he spoke with reporters Saturday for the first time since he was issued an 80-game suspension after testing positive for Furosemide, a diuretic that can mask performance-enhancing drugs. Cano claims it was prescribed to him by a doctor to deal with high blood pressure, but the star second baseman eventually dropped his appeal of the punishment just before it was issued and will not be back on the field until Aug.
