M's Cano gets 80-game ban after positive test

Seattle Mariners star second baseman Robinson Cano was suspended 80 games without pay by Major League Baseball after testing positive for a banned substance, it was announced Tuesday.

Cano tested positive for the diuretic Furosemide, which violates the MLB's Joint Drug Prevention and Treatment Program.

Cano suffered a fractured fifth metacarpal in his right hand when he was struck by a pitch from Detroit's Blaine Hardy on Sunday. He was placed on the disabled list Monday and was scheduled to see a specialist in Philadelphia on Tuesday.

The 35-year-old Cano is one of the Mariners' biggest stars, having hit 23 home runs last season after getting 39 in 2016.

The eight-time All-Star selection was batting .287 with four home runs and 23 RBIs this season, his fifth with Seattle. Cano hadn't missed a game this season and hasn't played in fewer than 150 games in any of the past 11 seasons.

According to ESPN Stats & Information, Cano's 1,783 games played since the start of the 2007 season are the most in MLB in that span.

Current Mariners outfielder Dee Gordon was suspended 80 games for violating MLB's performance-enhancing drug policy while he was with the Marlins in 2016.

That swishing sound is Cano’s HOF chances going down a toilet.

So he is basically done for the season if I'm correct? Right @Rock Strongo

Don't think the suspension can begin while he is hurt

Full disclosure: This is what they gave my kid when he was 3-4 years old, Lasix (furosemide). It makes you pee, a lot. He needed it because he had had heart surgeries, and he needed to clean off all that extra fluid.

I can't imagine in what way it's a performance enhancer, other than to make you run faster to the toilet

Apparently it's a PED masking agent

So this apparently cleans your urine of the PED

But the agent itself shows

:useful:

Makes a little more sense, but since it's cleaning out your urine very rapidly, it's probably also flushing out the actual PED, so where's the real benefit?

It's okay, you can tell me, i won't alert any authorities

No, he can return in August and finish out the rest of the regular season, but would be ineligible for post season play if the M's somehow find themselves in that position.

Zero excuses. What a douche. M's having their best season in years, with (too early) whispers of a postseason shot, finally, and this asshole screws us like this.

Did he think of thee children?

Does anyone ever think of thee children?
