Geovany Soto Failed Drug Test In WBC

by Matt SnyderFiled under: Cubs, NL Central, World Baseball ClassicThe bad news: Geovany Soto failed his drug test while competing in the World Baseball Classic. The good news: It wasn't for a performancing-enhancing drug -- which, at this point, would probably precede his being drawn and quartered by the outraged general public. Instead, Soto tested positive for marijuana. I guess if pressed for a real classification, we'd have to say pot is a performance "dehancing" drug. Soto will be forced to miss international play for the next two years, which isn't that huge of a punishment, really. He won't receive a punishment from Major League Baseball, and he has always tested clean in MLB-sanctioned testing. Still, he apologized and took responsibility for the positive test.Geovany Soto Failed Drug Test In WBC originally appeared on Fanhouse MLB Blog on Thu, 25 Jun 2009 16:10:00 EDT .
