"MLB Prospect Noelvi Marte Suspended 80 Games for Positive PED Test"
Originally Published 1 year ago — by ESPN
Cincinnati Reds third baseman Noelvi Marte has been suspended for 80 games after testing positive for the performance-enhancing substance Boldenone. The 22-year-old, who debuted last year and was expected to be a key player this season, will be a significant loss for the team as they aim to compete in the NL Central. The Reds have expressed full support for MLB's drug policy and penalties, and have alternative options at third base, including veteran Jeimer Candelario.
