100 game ban sounds like a lot - until you read that he played 52 games last season. So, for a first offence, you get a 1-year ban, and for the second, a 2-year ban? Seems a little light.

Well he appeared in 52 games. He is a relief pitcher, may only pitch one inning or to even one batter sometimes in a game, and may not pitch for a few days depending on the situation of each game. His base salary is 1 mil, so @$6,100 per game of a 162 game season, so he was fined 60 grand basically, in money terms.

100 games for clenbuterol, being his 2nd postive? That is basically just a 2/3 of a year penalty. A BIG joke.

In cycling (or track) isn´t that 4 yrs if you get caught twice?

Anyway, that happens when player associations rule the drug tests. That BS will happen to cycling too if JV´s "franchise-like-NFL-cyling" dream comes true. All business, all player association, all comercial, all fake, corrupted "journalists", milking the fans-pay for all, .... but sure no sports.

Guys, you don´t know that the corrupt UCI ruling cycling is wayyyy better than JV´s dream. Just have a look at US-Sports. A big sad, sad joke. If i wouldn´t really love football i´d have given it up already (like i did with MLB).

It's a huge suspension...but not that bad. Each game the team plays counts for a suspended game for Mota. So, his suspension will end somewhere in September. As a Giants fan, this sucks...but not as bad as the loss of three players due to injury.
Anyway, Mota and Alberto in the same sentence odd.

MLB lifts ban due the same "procedural issues" as occured in the Braun case.

Laughable.

This math is wrong by a zero.

$610,000 not 61,000

His agent, Adam Katz, blamed the positive result on a children's cough medicine.

Since when do the FDA allow clen in any cough medicine?

Katz should have used the old line - "It was the beef from 3 weeks ago. This beef was sourced from another region"
