Ken Rosenthal ✔ @ken_Rosenthal His team already was without Machado and Wieters. Inexcusable for Davis to put himself and #Orioles in this position. So if Machado and Weiters were playing, cheating is ok? |

If you're under the impression Adderall is a substance Davis tried to get away with taking once, then just got caught, you're wrong. Under the terms of the current MLB and players' association drug policy agreement, a player isn't suspended the first time he tests positive for a stimulant like Adderall. He's simply informed of the positive test and told exactly what that means:
It means he's about to be subject to extensive future testing. It means now he knows he's going to be tested an additional six times a year, beyond the test every player is required to undergo during spring training, plus at least one unannounced test during the season.
So think about this. If Davis got suspended for using Adderall, it means he tested positive previously, knew he tested positive, knew he was going to be tested at least eight more times in the next year and . .

I love Showalter's brutal honesty sometimes "We all have that No Button and Yes Button in all walks of life, Chris' No Button must not have been working that day" |
