Ex-Met Matt Harvey suspended 60 games for drugs three months after testifying in Angel staffer Eric Kay case

The Matt Harvey story has taken another sad turn.

On Tuesday, Major League Baseball announced that Harvey has been suspended for 60 games without pay for “participating in the distribution of a prohibited Drug of Abuse in violation of Major League Baseball’s Joint Drug Prevention and Treatment Program.”
