Jenrry Mejia Banned for Life for 3rd PED Failure

On Friday Jenrry Mejia received a permanent suspension for his third positive test for PEDs. That’s three tests in less than a year. At this point, one has to wonder whether there is another problem here.

Mejia is now the first player to ever receive the ultimate penalty for PEDs. He will be able to apply for reinstatement in two years. But the odds are his career is over.

In a statement, the Mets said:

“We were deeply disappointed to hear that Jenrry has again violated Major League Baseball’s Joint Drug Prevention and Treatment Program.
