Seattle Sounders defender Ramon Torres has been hit with a ten-game ban and fined 20 per cent of his annual salary after testing positive for a performance-enhancing substance.
The 33-year-old Panama international is also banned from participating in team training sessions or team events, with the exception of rehabilitation from an injury.
He will be unavailable for coach Brian Schmetzer until the Sounders' clash with San Jose Earthquakes on September 29.
