That injury might have kept him out that long anyways. It shouldn't start until his injury has healed. I agree, a dope. But I believe he got off easy.

Cano says, “This substance was given to me by a licensed doctor in the Dominican Republic to treat a medical ailment.” He said he didn’t realize it was banned.


Yeah right, cheater.

Cano, 35, had been discussing the matter with the league since the test results came in over the winter, per Heyman (via Twitter).

Cano?s PED Suspension Resonates Beyond This Season.

While not a performance-enhancing drug itself, furosemide is banned by MLB because of its frequent use as a masking agent. By increasing the rate of urine flow and sodium excretion, diuretics such as furosemide can reduce the concentration of banned substances within the urine. According to the British Journal of Pharmacology, furosemide is one of the most abused diuretics among athletes because of its short half-life, as it is ?undetectable in urine if samples are not collected within 24-48 [hours] after the last administration.?

ESPN?s T.J. Quinn, who has been one of the leading reporters covering the PED beat dating back to the days of BALCO and Operation Equine, said in a series of tweets (one, two, three) that furosemide is ?the kind of drug a player is likely to say he took by accident and didn?t help his performance, and added:

?Players are NOT automatically suspended for using diuretics. The suspension means MLB was able to prove he was using it to mask a drug. Cano tested positive before the season, appealed and dropped the appeal.

?I don?t know what the original drug was and the source I spoke to said MLB doesn?t, either. Not sure how they proved intent, but evidently they proved it well enough to convince Cano to drop his appeal.?
