Raul Mondesi, Jr. received a suspension from Major League Baseball for a failed PED test. He received a 50 game, not an 80 game suspension, however:
An initial positive test for performance-enhancing drugs resulted in a 50-game suspension from 2006 through 2013, and the penalty was increased in March 2014 to 80 games. Mondesi could have appealed to arbitrator Fredric Horowitz, who would have held a hearing to decide whether there was just cause for the discipline, but the sides reached their agreement.
Mondesi provided evidence under section 8.B.3 of the joint drug agreement, the person familiar with the agreement said. That provision states “a player is not in violation of the program if the presence of the prohibited substance in his test result was not due to his fault or negligence.”
The other interesting bit about Mondesi is that he played in the post-season, but has never played as a major leaguer in the regular season.
