Rich Schultz/Associated Press - Alex Rodriguez reportedly will be suspended through 2014 on Monday but will be allowed to play during any appeal.
New York Yankees slugger Alex Rodriguez, the marquee name in baseball’s latest performance-enhancing drug scandal that originated at a South Florida anti-aging clinic, will be suspended through the 2014 season, though Rodriguez will be allowed to play as he pursues an appeal of the decision, according to a report Sunday night by the Associated Press.
The AP cited an anonymous source in saying the Yankees had been informed of the impending suspension. Officials from Major League Baseball and Rodriguez’s attorney, David Cornwell, did not respond to inquiries late Sunday night.
