Neifi Perez suspended for third time=80 games

[burniebrewer]

Neifi Perez failed a third test and is no longer eligible to be re-instated tomorrow after his second suspension ends.

 

As a result, he will lose about $1.2 million in salary and his season is over.

 

 

EDIT-I tried to add the link, but it's not working using the link thing above, so here it is:

Here's the ESPN link.

Twice within a month? Wow. This borders on insane.

[JoeHova]

wow, Neifi must really love greenies. Is this the end for one of the worst hitters (to get consistent playing time) in ML history?

That's too funny.

Good to see Don can at least get a link link to work.http://static.yuku.com/v2//domainskins/bypass/img/smileys/mad.gif I tried and it wouldn't take.

I just created a thread on amphetamines today. I can understand a suspension the first time if an individual mistakenly took something that was banned, but three times?

[Thurston Fluff]

Does this mean he takes the role of stupidest player of all time from Jeff Juden? Like Jaybird said once can be atrributed to some sort of screw up/carlessness. Three times looks more like an addiction to me.

Stupid and worst player, that's a dynamite combo he's got going.

You know it's really unfair to the rest of the AL that MLB testing is doing the Tigers a favor by taking Neifi off their roster. If he tests positive again he would be banned for life. I'd say he's done as it is, how could you sign him to an MLB contract knowing he could get banned at any moment? On the Flip side when do teams start spiking drinks to get rid of player contracts?

That's a brilliantly diabolical suggestion. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

Neifi sounds adictited to them

Actually, not quite true. Per the ESPN article I linked above:

 

Another positive test would lead to a suspension to be determined at the discretion of commissioner Bud Selig, with Perez having the right to have an arbitrator review the penalty.

But still, I can only imagine how much trouble he'd be in if caught again...

Looks like Neifi got Angel'ed:
