Milwaukee Brewers catcher Pedro Severino was suspended for 80 games after a positive drug test.The announcement was made Tuesday.He's the fourth major league player penalized in the last two days.Severino tested positive for the performance-enhancing substance Clomiphene, the commissioner's office said. The drug is used to induce ovulation.Severino will lose about half his $1.9 million salary. He apologized to the Brewers, teammates and fans. "Since late 2020, my wife and I had been trying to start a family unsuccessfully," Severino said in a statement issued by the players' association. "When we returned to the Dominican Republic after the 2021 season, we sought medical assistance to determine why we had not succeeded. One of the doctors I consulted with prescribed me with a medication to treat infertility issues. Unfortunately, I now know that the medication contained Clomiphene. I accept responsibility for this mistake and have decided not to challenge my suspension." A seven-year major league veteran, the 28-year-old is in his first season with the Brewers after playing for Washington and Baltimore. He hit .248 with 11 homers and 46 RBIs last season for the Orioles, leaving him with a .235 career average with 33 homers and 133 RBIs."I have been tested more than 100 times in my career and I had never had an issue," Severino said. Three free agents were suspended Monday following positive tests for Boldenone: outfielder/first baseman Danny Santana, pitcher Richard Rodriguez and infielder Jose Rondon. Those were the first suspensions since the major league drug testing program resumed March 11 following a 99-day suspension during the lockout. All the positive tests resulted from urine samples taken before the lockout started Dec. 2, but MLB concluded it could not announce discipline during the lockout, a person familiar with the testing program told The Associated Press, speaking on condition of anonymity because that detail was not announced.
