Gordon tested positive for Testosterone and Clostebol and has been suspended for 80 games, Yahoo! Sports' Jeff Passan reports.
EDGE Analysis
The defending National League batting champion and a consensus second round pick in most fantasy drafts this spring will miss 80 games after testing positive for exogenous Testosterone and Clostebol, a modified form of testosterone. Gordon, 28, does not fit the stereotypical build for a PED user, at 5-foot-11 and 171 pounds, but his career trajectory fits the general mold, as someone who most had given up on after the 2013 season, but then jumped up to an All-Star caliber player in 2014 and 2015. The 80-game suspension will keep him out until July 28. Derek Dietrich figures to be the replacement at the keystone in the meantime, making him a worthwhile pickup in deeper leagues.
Some cheaters just never stop cheating others and themselves. That will put holes in two of my teams. Good job, Gordon. I woulda docked you for the rest of the season.

Don't be such a pooper. What I don't get is that he doesn't look a 'Roid user. 170 lbs...not exactly Barry Bonds.
