So much for the “I would never knowingly” cheat claim from Jurickson Profar. The Braves outfielder/designated hitter is facing a 162-game suspension for testing positive for performance-enhancing drugs (PED) for the second time and in back-to-back years, The Post’s Jon Heyman confirmed. The 33-year-old is set to be the sixth player to receive the 162-game ban for a second PED violation since the penalty for a second-time violator got bumped to a full season in 2014, per ESPN, and is now ineligible for the 2026 season and the World Baseball Classic, where the Curacao native was set to play for the Netherlands.
