Oriole's Davis suspended 25 games for amphetamines

[slimvictor]

The Orioles were dealt another blow on Friday morning, as first baseman Chris Davis was suspended for 25 games by Major League Baseball for testing positive for amphetamines associated with the drug Adderall.

The suspension -- which means it was Davis' second violation -- is effective immediately and will cause him to miss the remaining 17 regular-season games as well as eight postseason games should Baltimore advance that far. While Davis won't be eligible until he serves out his suspension, MLB has decided he can still be placed on the American League Championship Series roster under the ban. Meaning if the O's get there, Davis can return in-series.

I don't see how taking an Adderall would help sports performance. If anything; wouldn't it hinder you greatly?

That's pretty lame...the o's are doing better than usual...I could see aderall being useful for sports, esp for a first baseman, gotta be quick quick. Still sucks tho, all things considered with what has been going on in the Baltimore sports world lately with the whole ray rice thing, its a harsh punishment for something so minor.

Rangers > Orioles. Bennies were huge back in the day in sports (MLB, mainly over others).. I could definitely see it helping.
