US EditionPhillies OF Johan Rojas Suspended 80 Games After Losing Appeal for Failed PED Test
- On Monday, Major League Baseball suspended Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Johan Rojas for 80 games after he tested positive for Boldenone, an anabolic steroid.
- The 25-year-old is the third Phillies player to fail a performance-enhancing drug test in the past year, marking the sixth league-wide violation this season.
- Ineligible to play at any level until June 25, Rojas forfeits $395,305 in salary while serving the suspension over 92 days of the 187-day season.
- The Phillies stated they are 'disappointed' and 'fully support' the league's drug program, while the team turns to 27-year-old Pedro León from triple-A to fill the roster gap.
- Boldenone, originally developed for veterinary use, is prohibited under Major League Baseball's joint drug prevention and treatment program and complicates the trajectory of the elite defender.
