Texas Rangers manager Ron Washington tested positive for cocaine during the 2009 season, SI.com has learned.
Washington, 57, has been subject to increased drug testing since his failed test, which was administered by Major League Baseball last July, and he has passed all of his subsequent tests. In deciding to support Washington and retain him as manager, the Rangers accepted his apology as heartfelt and also his explanation that this was a one-time transgression.
Suave emeritus and Josh Hamilton sympathizer, Shakespeare DiMaggio may have summed it up best: “If I had to guess which manager tested positive for cocaine, I think Ron Washington would have been my first five guesses.”
