Oakland's Ramón Laureano has been suspended without pay for 80 games after testing positive for Nandrolone, a performance-enhancing substance.
The outfielder was earning $580,500 this season but will lose nearly half of that, as well as a prorated portion of whatever salary he earns this winter, when he'll be eligible for arbitration for the first time.
Laureano released a statement, claiming he did not knowingly ingest the PED and that he is "devastated."
"I would never knowingly ingest any banned substance and put the game I've loved all my life at risk. When I found out that I tested positive for Nandrolone, I was shocked.
