The Office of the Commissioner of Baseball announced today that San Diego Padres shortstop Fernando Tatis Jr. has received an 80-game suspension without pay after testing positive for Clostebol, a performance-enhancing substance in violation of Major League Baseball’s Joint Drug Prevention and Treatment Program.

The suspension of Tatis is effective immediately.

The list of athletes busted for clostebol includes a gold-medal Brazilian long jumper, a Norwegian cross-country skier, an Italian beach volleyball player, a Spanish figure skater, a Canadian triathlete and a Slovenian javelin thrower. Three baseball players have tested positive for it, most notably National League batting champion Dee Gordon of the Florida Marlins in 2016. He claimed he did not “knowingly” ingest it but dropped his appeal and served an 80-game suspension.

The latest addition to the list: Tatis Jr

Unfortunately, if you are a Padres fan, you almost expect something like this.

I guess we know why they backed up the truck to get him. They knew this was coming

I go on a 3 day fishing trip and come back to this bullshit. Definitely on brand for San Diego sports. Nando already got paid so he was just taking roids for his ego. What a toolbag.
