A\'s pitcher Colon suspended for 50 games

Oakland pitcher Bartolo Colon has been suspended for 50 games for violations of Major League Baseball\'s drug policies, baseball officials said Wednesday. The Office of the Commission of Baseball issued a statement saying Colon tested positive for testosterone. Colon, 39, is 10-9 this season with a 3.43 earned run average. The win total and ERA are team bests this season. The 10 wins in a season are the most for Colon since he won 21 games in 2005, when he was voted the American League Cy Young Award. Oakland team officials issued a statement that they were \"disappointed\" to learn of Colon\'s suspension but that they supported baseball\'s drug policy. Colon is the second player to be suspended for performance-enhancing substance violations in a week. San Francisco outfielder Melky Cabrera was banned for 50 games. His test was also positive for testosterone.
