PEORIA, Ariz. (AP) – Seattle Mariners reliever David Rollins has been suspended 80 games for the use of performance-enhancing drugs.
Major League Baseball announced Rollins’ suspension Friday, saying he tested positive for Stanozolol, a synthetic anabolic steroid.
Rollins will not appeal the suspension. In a statement, Rollins says, ”My positive test was the result of a serious error in judgment.”
Seattle general manager Jack Zduriencik says the team will continue to work with Rollins to ”get past this situation.”
The 25-year-old Rollins was a Rule 5 Draft selection from the Houston organization.
He was in contention to become one of Seattle’s left-handed options in the bullpen with a strong performance in spring training. Rollins allowed one earned run in seven Cactus League appearances.
