PEDs or a drug of abuse?

It is unknown what substance caused the violation of the Minor League Drug Prevention and Treatment Program, but MLB said it was a "drug of abuse."

Thanks.

And this is his 2nd failed test? When was the first one?

Re: Daniel Tuttle Suspended 50 games

Is marijuana considered a "drug of abuse" by MLB, or are we talking about something harder?

I am not sure.

I do know that they don't test players on the 40-man for weed.

Re: Daniel Tuttle Suspended 50 games

If I had to guess, I would say that it was weed

In the minor leagues, yes, pot is a drug of abuse. In the Majors, they don't care if you do it (at least to the point where you are suspended). If you recall last season Jeremy Jeffress was added to the Brewers 40 man roster in the middle of June without being called up. He had two prior suspensions for pot and a third one would have been BIG trouble. The theory is that he was going to test positive again but because he was put on the 40 man, they no longer checked for it.

Re: Daniel Tuttle Suspended 50 games

Wasn't there a player for the VSL Reds that was on suspension as well? Kid's name was Raga or Ragu or something like that.
