Major League Baseball isn't going to lift former Mets pitcher Jenrry Mejia's lifetime ban for PED use anytime soon and won't stand to be disrespected while doing so.
Mejia, who failed three tests for PEDs in a 10-month timeframe, held a news conference on Friday with his lawyer, who blamed his client's recent positive drug test on MLB and their “dirty cop tactics."

“Mr. Mejia was told ... if he did not provide testimony on a particular player they wanted to investigate, they would go out of their way to find him positive a third time,” Mejia's lawyer, Vincent White said.
