Los Angeles Dodgers reliever Ronald Belisario declared that he was prevented from entering the United States last year because he tested positive for cocaine. Belisario, who was suspended 25 games by Major League Baseball, made the statement on Wednesday. The 29-year-old Venezuelan claimed that he ingested the drug on one occasion. "I don't have a problem with any drugs, I'm good," Belisario told the Los Angeles Times. "It was a one-time thing." The righthander, who will serve the suspension to start the 2012 season, posted a 3-1 mark with a 5.04 ERA in 2010.
