- Starling Marte, an All-Star outfielder emerging as one of the game’s top all-around talents, was suspended 80 games by Major League Baseball after testing positive for nandrolone, a devastating blow for the Pittsburgh Pirates.
Marte, 23, won a Gold Glove in 2016 and compelled the Pirates to move franchise player Andrew McCutchen from center to right field in the off-season. He batted .311 with a .362 on-base percentage, and stole 47 bases last season.
Nandrolone is classified as an anabolic steroid, perhaps better known as Deca-Durabolin during the height of doping in Olympic and other athletic circles. It emerged most recently during Barry Bonds’ 2011 perjury trial related to the BALCO scandal, when slugger Jason Giambi testified that he tested positive for the drug in a screening administered by BALCO before the lab created its own regimen of drugs for him. http://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/mlb/mlb-suspends-marte-80-games-for-positive-test/ar-BBA0JYU?li=BBmkt5R&ocid=spartandhp this just sucks!
