Power hitting Neifi Perez pops for third time

[scooter1369]

DETROIT -- Tigers infielder Neifi Perez was suspended for 80 games Friday after testing positive for a third time for a banned stimulant, a penalty that finishes his season.

Perez was suspended for 25 games on July 6 when he tested positive for a second time. Under baseball's labor contract, a player who tests positive for the first time is sent for counseling.

Perez has been the only player suspended by baseball for stimulants since they were banned before the 2006 season. His first suspension had been set to end after Friday night's game against the Chicago White Sox, but Tigers president Dave Dombrowski wouldn't say whether Perez would have been restored to the active roster absent the new positive test.

The best line fo the whole article?

The 34-year-old Perez is hitting .172 with one homer and six RBIs in 64 at-bats for the defending AL champions.
