Blue Jays' Orelvis Martinez Suspended for 80 Games for PED Violation
News summary

Toronto Blue Jays infielder Orelvis Martinez has been suspended for 80 games without pay after testing positive for Clomiphene, a banned performance-enhancing drug. Martinez, who made his MLB debut just days before the suspension, stated the substance was part of a fertility treatment prescribed to him and that he was unaware it was banned. He expressed regret for not disclosing the treatment to his team or the MLBPA and accepted full responsibility for his actions. The Blue Jays' management, though disappointed, have pledged their support for Martinez. Martinez is eligible to return in September but will miss the remainder of the regular season and any potential postseason games. His suspension is part of a broader crackdown by MLB, with several players facing similar penalties this year.
