Twins pitcher Santana hit with 80-game doping ban
Print Edition
MINNESOTA Twins pitcher Ervin Santana was given an 80-game ban on Friday, becoming the second Major League Baseball player from the Dominican Republic to be suspended for performance-enhancing drugs in as many days.
Santana, who just signed a four-year, US$54 million contract with the Twins in the offseason, tested positive for the anabolic steroid Stanozolol, the league said. On Thursday, Atlanta Braves pitcher Arodys Vizcaino, who is also from the Dominican, received an 80-game suspension for using Stanozolol. Santana, who went 14-10 with a 3.95 ERA over 31 starts with the Braves last season was slated to be the Twins’ No. 2 starter this season.
