Sidney Ponson Failed WBC Drug Test

by Matt SnyderFiled under: Royals, AL Central, World Baseball ClassicThursday we passed along the news that Geovany Soto had tested positive for marijuana during the World Baseball Classic this past spring. Just one day later, another positive result from the WBC round of testing has been revealed. Sidney Ponson, the embattled 32-year-old righty who pitched for the Netherlands, also tested positive for a banned substance. It wasn't the mellow Mary Jane that Ponson was partaking in, though. Nope, he tested positive for phentermine, a stimulant. Like Soto, he'll avoid punishment from Major League Baseball and face a two-year ban from international play.Sidney Ponson Failed WBC Drug Test originally appeared on Fanhouse MLB Blog on Fri, 26 Jun 2009 19:30:00 EDT .
