Former MVP Miguel Tejada was suspended 105 games yesterday for testing positive for an amphetamine, one of the longest suspensions given by Major League Baseball.

The 39-year-old Royals infielder already is on the 60-day disabled list. He is not challenging the penalties and will begin serving the ban immediately.

Tejada previously tested positive under the league’s amphetamine policy.

A person familiar with the situation told the Associated Press Tejada tested positive for Adderall, a substance previously used to treat attention-deficit disorder. The person spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because those details were not made public.

* Suspended Brewers rightfielder Ryan Braun, according to people familiar with his plans, is ready to soon admit he used performance-enhancing drugs in parts of the 2011 season, the reasons why he did it, and publicly apologize for the lies and deception, according to a USA Today report.

Sources said Braun has begun sending apologies to baseball officials, and is expected to express remorse in the statement.

People close to Braun said he is eager to be the anti-Alex Rodriguez and is desperately trying to distance himself from the Yankees third baseman.
