Ex-Yankee Mark Teixeira: 'Not surprised' at Robinson Cano's PED use

While most of baseball was stunned at former Yankees star Robinson Cano's performance-enhancing drug suspension, one of his former teammates hardly batted an eye.

Retired Yankees first baseman Mark Teixeira said the news that Cano tested positive for a banned substance didn't shock him in the least.

"Not surprised," Teixeira said while on The Michael Kay Show on ESPN New York radio Thursday afternoon.

Teixeira said that Cano's association with exposed juicers and Alex Rodriguez and Melky Cabrera -- two of Cano's best friends and fellow Yankees teammates -- and Cano's link to the 2013 Biogenesis scandal made him shrug at the 34-year-old second baseman's 80-game ban.
