Miami Marlins pitcher Paul Campbell has received an 80-game suspension from Major League Baseball on Monday for violating its performance-enhancing drug policy. The 25-year-old Campbell made his major league debut April 3; he tested positive for dehydrochlormethyltestosterone (DHCMT), according to MLB, and will be suspended without pay. Campbell, through the MLB Players' Association, released a statement noting that he tested positive for "10 trillionths of a gram" of DHCMT, an amount he says has "no performance-enhancing benefits. I have unfortunately become one of many athletes, across multiple sports, who are presenting themselves to the world and asking for members of the anti-doping world to help us find answers as to why this metabolite is continuing to show up in athletes' bodies and ultimately costing them significant detours in their careers."
