Cano Has Been Dirty “For Years” and Other Celebrity Reactions To Cano Suspension
Welp, Robinson Cano became the latest ballplayer to get hit over the head with a PED suspension on Tuesday afternoon. Cano, a member of the Seattle Mariners, will miss the next 80 games due to his positive test. Ironically, the Mariners’ biggest offseason pickup, Dee Gordon, also has an 80-game suspension under his belt.
The best reaction, or most eye-opening, was from The Athletic’s Jeff Pearlman which revealed, per a scout, that Cano has been dirty for a long time. Here is the Pearlman tweet, as well as numerous other celebrity reactions:
Jeff Pearlman — New York Times bestseller and columnist at The Athletic:
NOT trying to be a dick. But I had one scout tell me—for years—"Cano is dirty." Repeatedly told me. I sorta ignored him. He would say it all … the … time.

Robinson Cano indeed is suspended 80 games for PED use as @hgomez27 first reported, effectively ruining his Hall of Fame chances. #Mariners

I am very very EXTREMELY bummed about Robinson Cano. Forgiveness is a beautiful thing, but personally I stop rooting for players who test positive for PEDs. #damn
