Jenrry Mejia doesn't issue public apology upon return from 80-game ban

SAN FRANCISCO - Jenrry Mejia reveled in the present. He spoke of the welcome he received from his teammates, and of the relief he felt upon his return from an 80-game suspension for using performance-enhancing drugs.

The future, he hopes, brings a chance for him to help the bullpen as the Mets attempt a push for the playoffs.

The past, however, he considered off limits.

So Mejia didn't apologize for his positive test -- at least not publicly -- nor did he answer questions about how a metabolite of stanozolol wound up in his system.

"That was in the past," Mejia said.
