“#Mariners’ Hector Santiago gets 80-game<\/a> suspension for PEDs<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n

The Seattle Mariners\u2019 Hector Santiago was the first pitcher to be punished for violating the MLB\u2019s sticky substance rule. Now, he is in even bigger trouble.<\/p>\n

The 33-year-old was suspended for 80 games after testing positive for external testosterone. The suspension will cost him about half his $700,000 salary. Santiago claims that it stemmed from hormonal replacement therapy that he received during his year away from the MLB. Either way, it\u2019s still a violation of the MLB\u2019s drug protocol.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn 2020, while I was not on the roster of a MLB club, I consulted a licensed physician in Puerto Rico who diagnosed me with a condition and recommended hormonal replacement therapy,\u201d Santiago said in a statement released by the Major League Baseball Players Association.<\/p>\n

\u201cBecause I did not play in 2020, I did not consider that this therapy could ultimately lead to a positive test under MLB\u2019s joint drug program. That said, I alone am responsible for what I put in my body, and I was not careful. Therefore, I have decided for forgo my right to an app<\/a>eal in this matter and accept the suspension. I apologize for any harm this has caused the Seattle Mariners, Mariners\u2019 fans, my teammates, and most importantly, my family.\u201d<\/p>\n

Santiago was originally suspended for 10 games after umpires found a sticky substance during a June 27 game against the Chicago White Sox. The Newark, NJ native claimed that it was a mixture of sweat and rosin, which still violated foreign substance protocols. He attempted to appeal the suspension, but it was upheld.<\/p>\n

The fourth player to be suspended for breaking substance protocol, Santiago is 1-1 with a 3.42 ERA, 30 strikeouts, 11 walks, and 26.1 innings pitched in 13 relief appearances this season. <\/p>\n

Before the Mariners, the journeyman has played for teams such as the Chicago White Sox, Los Angeles Angels, Minnesota Twins, and even a brief stint with the New York Mets in 2019. Because of the suspension, Santiago will be out for the rest of the season.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
