Chris Davis of Baltimore Orioles Suspended for 25 Games

Baltimore Orioles first baseman Chris Davis has been suspended for 25 games after testing positive for a methamphetamine, according to ESPN.

Davis took Adderall without having a “therapeutic use exemption” required for permission to take it as a member of the league, according to a statement from Davis obtained by NBC Sports, in which he apologized to the Orioles and fans, stating: “I made a mistake by taking Adderall...I accept my punishment and will begin serving my suspension immediately.”

Previously, Davis said, he has had permission to use Adderall. According to CBS Sports, approximately 119 players use the drug, which is prescribed for people with attention deficit disorder.

Davis led the league with 53 home runs in 2013, according to the Orioles, which reported “he has struggled this season.” So far this season, he’s had 26 home runs. The Orioles have 17 games left of the season and are headed for the postseason.
