Padres center fielder Cameron Maybin has been suspended 25 games, without
pay, after testing positive for amphetamine usage, the league announced.
Maybin, 27, was hitting .247/.286/.368 with a homer and three steals in 62
games this season. He missed most of the season’s first month as he
recovered from a torn tendon in his biceps. From a financial standpoint, the
suspension will cost Maybin about $683K of his $5MM salary.
This is the second notable suspension of a Major Leaguer for amphetamine
usage in 2014, as former Orioles reliever Troy Patton (who, coincidentally,
is now a teammate of Maybin), began the year serving a 25-game suspension for
Adderall usage. In 2013, Carlos Ruiz had to serve the same suspension to open
the season.
教士队外野手Cameron Maybin在药检中对安非他命呈阳性反应，联盟宣布Maybin将被
禁赛25场并且不支付薪水。
27岁的Maybin在今年的62场出赛中交出.247/.286/.368的打击三围，包含一发全垒打
还有3次盗垒，今年因肱二头肌撕裂伤缺阵开季的Maybin将损失约$683K的薪水。(本季
年薪$5MM)
这是本季第二起因使用安非他命遭到禁赛的案例，Troy Patton因使用Adderall(
一种含安非他命的药物，主要用来治疗注意力不足过动症(ADHD)。)而遭到25场的禁赛。
2013年 Carlos Ruiz同样也遭到禁赛25场的处分。
Maybin has issued the following statement through the Major League Baseball
Players Association:
“I have been undergoing treatment for several years for a medical condition,
Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD), for which I previously had a Therapeutic
Use Exemption (TUE). Unfortunately, in my attempts to switch back to a
medicine that had been previously ok’d, I neglected to follow all the rules
and as a result I tested positive. I want to assure everyone that this was a
genuine effort to treat my condition and I was not trying in any way to gain
an advantage in my baseball career. I understand that I must accept
responsibility for this mistake and I will take my punishment and will not
challenge my suspension. I apologize to my family, friends, fans, teammates,
and the entire Padres organization. I look forward to returning to the field
and contributing to the success of my Club.”
关于此事，Maybin表示他因为长期接受ADHD的治疗而使用安非他命。
