MLB suspends Mets’ Cano for ’21 season after failed drug test
New York Mets’ Robinson Cano was suspended for 162 games by Major League Baseball on Wednesday after his positive test for a performanceenhancing drug.
The 38-year-old Cano will miss the entire 2021 season and lose $24 million in salary. The eight-time All-Star hit a robust .316 with 10 home runs and 30 RBI in this year’s pandemic-shortened season.
The commissioner’s office said Cano tested positive for Stanozolol, an anabolic steroid. He was penalized 80 games in May 2018 while with Seattle after a positive test for furosemide, a diuretic that some athletes have used to mask other substances.
