Mets RHP Jenrry Mejia became the first player to receive a permanent suspension related to performance-enhancing substances after he violated his third drug test.
MLB suspended Mejia, 26, for life after he tested positive for Boldenone.
"We were deeply disappointed to hear that Jenrry has again violated Major League Baseball's Joint Drug Prevention and Treatment Program," the Mets said in a statement. "We fully support MLB's policy toward eliminating performance enhancing substances from the sport. As per the Joint Drug Program, we will have no further comment on this suspension."
Mejia was suspended 80 games for his first offense last April after he tested positive for Stanozolol.
