Edinson Volquez Suspended 50 Games for PEDs

Cincinnati Reds pitcher Edinson Volquez is the guilty party.

He has been suspended for violation of the league's policy against performance enhancing drugs or "PEDs" as they are commonly referred to.

Volquez went 17-6 in 2008 before being injured for much of 2009...he required Tommy John surgery and was rehabbing for a comeback in 2010.

My thoughts are he will claim the violation occurred because of the injury and rehab, and that he is now officially done for the 2010 season.

We will continue to update the story as the events unfold.
