    Carlos Ruiz Suspended 25 Games

    Just broke over Twitter. Found using amphetamines & will miss first 25 games of '13 season.

    I'd have to assume his large spike in offense would have him tested a few times more this year.

    The Phillies miseries of 2012 are already overlapping 2013 and we're still more than four months away from Opening Day!

      This stings the Phillies a bit this offseason as well, I believe. There's been talk that they'd be possibly moving one of their catchers in a trade. Can't happen now since they need the depth.

      This is also Ruiz's second time since there's a suspension involved. First time carries no suspension.

        I thought it was 60 games for failing a drug test. Is using amphetimines different?

And when they finally won the World Series, they celebrated without annoying every other fan in the country."--Jim Caple, ESPN (Jan. 12, 2011)

          Yes. First time offenders are told but the situation remains in confidence. Second time, and it's 25 games. It's steeper for PED users.
