Posted June 25, 200915 yr DETROIT -- Cubs catcher Geovany Soto tested positive for marijuana while playing for Puerto Rico during the World Baseball Classic last March, the International Baseball Federation announced Thursday. Soto released a statement saying he was "embarrassed by my lapse in judgment." "While I full acknowledge my inappropriate behavior, I want to assure my fans and my family that this was an isolated incident," he said. Soto will be banned from international play for two years, but the positive drug test does not have any impact on his major league availability. The Cubs released an unsigned statement indicating Soto has been drug tested regularly and this was the only positive test. "Geovany assured the organization this was an isolated incident and a misstep in judgment that will not be repeated," the statement said. "Though surprised and disappointed, the club supports Geovany as he takes responsibility for his actions and accepts the consequences." Soto is expected to address the media after the game. http://blogs.chicago...ll-classic.html
June 25, 200915 yr Yeah, come on. You see this in the forum index is it looks like he took steroids. Weeds, whatever. Might as well have "tested positive" for alcohol in my opinion.
June 26, 200915 yr I hate people that are making a big deal out of this...Are you f***ing kidding me?
June 26, 200915 yr Could care less. Now if he was busted for STEROIDS, then it's a problem. He's certainly having a severe sophomore slump (.227, 6 HRs, 21 RBIs, .336 OBP)...
June 28, 200915 yr lol wow big F'in deal!!! I'm smoking some weed while reading this right now! PFFFFFFF Weed thats funny... I mean seriously is this even worth a thread? Weed is not a drug! You can smoke weed until your blue in the face, and you wont die! You can perform just about ANYTHING while high! You might not be to crisp! But you can perform any task. Now drinking booze that's bad for you! That kills your liver, and it's legal!!! Smoking Tabacco kills millions per year while Weed has never killed a soul. These drug laws in this country are retarded I mean it's stupid really... By the way look up "Run for the Cure: The Rick Simpson story" and find out how Marijuana can even help cure CANCER! Wonder why it's really not legal? Because it's a cure all drug, and even pain killer, and serves many tasks even allows itself to be made into clothing, paper, and other material. The reason it's not legal is because it would drown a ton of industries out, and kill them all together... There would have to be a total change in a whole lot of major industries that's been around for a long time, and even big Tobacco has fought for years to keep Weed illegal.... But one day we will win this stupid war against weed. Think about it 90% of the drugs brought in from mexico is WEED! Now if you legalize weed there goes that problem... No need to worry about it since now its legal to grow your own here, and buy in stores why would you deal with drug dealers, and street people!? It's a dumb law, and Soto earned my respect by smoking it lol :cool

June 28, 200915 yr You can perform just about ANYTHING while high! You might not be to crisp! But you can perform any task. I hope you aren't being serious. :| That statement's a lie, a big fat lie. And, this stuff is illegal for a reason, no?
June 28, 200915 yr Pretty amazing that the society we live in is so against steroids (actually, so against steorids in BASEBALL...the other sports get pretty ignored), yet weed is perfectly fine.
