Minnesota United center-back Brent Kallman has been suspended 10 games and fined 20 percent of his $136,456 annual salary by Major League Soccer for violating the league's substance abuse and behavioral health policy, the club announced on Thursday.
United stated that Kallman tested positive for an unnamed performance-enhancing substance.
The 28-year-old will miss Minnesota's four remaining regular-season matches of 2019 -- at Portland, against Sporting Kansas City and LAFC, and at Seattle -- plus any playoff games the club participates in this season, and any remaining matches in the 2020 regular season. Kallman may not participate in training or use team facilities to train during his suspension, with the exception of preseason ahead of 2020.
