Drug cheat Cabrera suspended 50 games

Major League Baseball's commissioners office announced Wednesday that the San Francisco Giants outfielder, who was MVP of the all-star game, has tested positive for testosterone.

The Dominican native Cabrera is having his best season in the majors with a .346 batting average, 11 homers and 60 runs batted in.

Cabrera admitted using performance-enhancing drugs and said he would not appeal the suspension.

"My positive test was the result of my use of a substance I should not have used," Cabrera said.

"I accept my suspension under the Joint Drug Program and I will try to move on with my life."

The Giants signed Cabrera to a one-year deal in January after he was acquired from Kansas City in a trade.

Cabrera was a career .275 hitter in seven pro seasons with the Yankees, Braves and Royals entering this year.
