Former Sox Hurler Richardson Suspended

Former Red Sox left-hander Dustin Richardson was suspended for 50 games by MLB for testing positive to a range of performance enhancing drugs—including mphetamine, Letrozole and metabolite, Methandienone metabolite, Methenelone and metabolite, and Trenbolone and metabolite. Richardson showed some promise in his Red Sox tenure, but ended up playing just 29 games for the Carmine Hose. He was dealt to the then-Florida Marlins for Andrew Miller in November of 2010. Last year, the Braves picked him up off waivers from the Marlins.
