    Chicago White Sox catcher Welington Castillo has been suspended 80 games for violating the league's joint drug agreement, Major League Baseball announced Thursday.

    Castillo is being banned for using erythropoietin (EPO), a performance-enhancing substance.

    "I was recently notified by Major League Baseball that I had tested positive for EPO, a sub-stance that is prohibited under MLB's Joint Drug Agreement" said Castillo via statement. "The positive test resulted from an extremely poor decision that I, and I alone, made. I take full responsibility for my conduct. I have let many people down, including my family, my teammates, the White Sox organization and its fans, and from my heart, I apologize. Following my suspension, I look forward to rejoining my teammates and doing whatever I can to help the White Sox win."
