Yesterday we told you about
Dodgers pitcher Hong-Chih Kuo testing positive for stimulants back in December. Today, the
LA Times says it's
unlikely Kuo will face any disciplinary action. Kuo told reporters he didn't take anything and he's not sure how the whole thing came about. His agent meanwhile says the positive test is the result of an herbal cold remedy containing ginseng. As a result, Dodgers General Manager is unconcerned:
"We are aware that Major League Baseball is looking into the issue," he said. "[But] given Kuo's explanation that this was simply a cold medicine, we consider it a nonissue unless new developments come to light."
But the Times reminds you not to call everything all and well
a baseball source said Monday if MLB's investigation turns up anything suspicious, Kuo could be subject to a "probable-cause test" - which could lead to a suspension.
At this point the positive test seems like much ado about nothing. Also seems like Kuo better switch from "cold remedies" to Sudafed or something less sketchy.
