Statement from the Blue Jays website.
Blue Jays first baseman Chris Colabello was suspended for 80 games without pay on Friday for violating Major League Baseball's Joint Drug Prevention and Treatment Program. Colabello tested positive for dehydrochlormethyltestosterone, a performance-enhancing substance.
After a breakout campaign a year ago, the 32-year-old Colabello had been struggling at the plate this season, batting .069 (2-for-29) in 10 games.
Colabello, who played seven seasons of independant ball before signing with Minnesota in 2012, batted .321 with 15 home runs and 54 RBIs in 101 games last season for the American League East-champion Blue Jays. He hit .282 and slugged a pair of homers in Toronto's postseason run.
