Sports Jeffress fails second drug test, given 100-game suspension
SoVaNow.com / June 29, 2009
Former Comet standout Jeremy Jeffress has been suspended for 100 games for a testing positive for a second time for a ‘drug of abuse’, according to a report Friday by the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.Jeffress, who was 2-1 with a 2.18 ERA for Class A Brevard County since being sent down from AA Huntsville, will not be able to pitch until 2010. His agent, Josh Kusnick, told the Milwaukee paper and reporter Tom Haudricourt that his client will enter a rehab program. Jeffress is now one strike away from a lifetime ban in professional baseball. If he were to be tested positive for a third time, he will never pitch professionally again. “All I’ll say is it was not a performance-enhancing drug. We all know the issue Jeremy has had in the past. He obviously has a very sensitive issue he has to overcome,” Kusnick told the Milwaukee paper. “This is all about Jeremy now. This is a problem that goes beyond his career. It’s more important to get the person fixed. He wants to have a healthy and productive life, much less baseball.” ‘The Brewers hoped to get Jeffress back to the Class AA level at least this year with the possibility of advancing to the majors at some point in 2010. Now, his future in the organization has been placed in jeopardy,’ Haudricourt reported. Halifax Sports
