In the documentary, Teagarden admitted to using performance-enhancing drugs.
“I used it last year, I was very … I was scared to be honest with you," he said in the footage, via CBS Sports. “I took it for like two weeks and I had a test four weeks after my last administration of it. Nothing happened. … And I was also taking peptides too but they were all urine tests, no blood tests. … Once a year, maybe twice at most.”
The suspension will begin Opening Day. Teagarden is a career .202/.260/.376 hitter in 180 big-league games with four teams over eight seasons.
