Blue Jays: Griffin Conine issues statement regarding suspension

Griffin Conine took to social media to address the allegations head-on accepting ownership for his careless actions. The 21-year old advised that the positive test dates back to the 2018 season and that he would not be challenging the specific findings of the case.

The prospect tested positive for “Ritalinic Acid” which is said to be a stimulant used to treat Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorders (ADHD). This is the same stimulant that minor leaguers Alex Bostic and Kevin Frandsen have previously tested positive for as well.

Today it was announced that I tested positive for a banned stimulant in a test that was conducted during the 2018 season, and will be serving a 50 game suspension as a result.
