Robinson Cano suspended for 2021: PED's...again? Views From The Press Box

Early Wednesday afternoon, Major League Baseball announced that New York Mets second baseman Robinson Cano will be suspended for the entirety of the 2021 season after a second violation of the league’s Joint Drug Prevention and Treatment Program. He previously tested positive for using a diuretic and missed 80 games as a member of the Seattle Mariners in 2018. This suspension is considered a second offense, and the ban automatically kicks in for a full 162-game slate, per an agreement by MLB and the players union
The substance Cano tested positive for is Stanzolol; a hardcore steroid. Back in 2018, the Mets star stated the diuretic he took was prescribed by a doctor in his native Dominican Republic and was unaware the substance was on Major League Baseball’s banned substance list.
“We were extremely disappointed to be informed about Robinson's suspension for violating Major League Baseball's Joint Drug Prevention and Treatment Program," Mets president Sandy Alderson said in a statement released by the Mets. "The violation is very unfortunate for him, the organization, our fans, and the sport. The Mets fully support MLB's efforts toward eliminating performance-enhancing substances from the game.”
After being caught for the second time in as many years, Cano will now be forced to forfeit his entire $24 Million salary this season. However, his current deal doesn’t expire until 2024 and the Mets remain on the hook for $40.5 Million the team still owes to the 38-year-old slugger.
Joel Sherman, a columnist from the New York Post writes, “Cano’s whole career is now in question,” and that “Cano’s Hall of Fame chances drop to approximately zero. He was going to have a tough time already with an 80-game suspension in 2018 on his record. But he could argue that ban was for a diuretic and not a performance enhancer — the diuretic is verboten because it could be used as a PED masking agent.”
