Jurickson Profar of the Braves May Face 162-Game Suspension After Another Possible PED Test Failure
Braves’ Jurickson Profar Faces Possible 162-Game Suspension for PED Violation
Jurickson Profar, designated hitter for the Atlanta Braves, is reportedly facing a 162-game suspension after a potential second violation involving performance-enhancing drugs. This development casts a shadow over Profar’s 2024 All-Star status, as he would be ineligible for postseason play and unable to represent the Netherlands in the upcoming World Baseball Classic.
Last year, Profar tested positive for human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) and subsequently served an 80-game suspension. The recurring nature of these violations raises significant concerns about his eligibility and future with the team.
