Marlins catcher Ronny Paulino has been suspended 50 games after he tested positive for a performance-enhancing substance under Major League Baseball's drug policy.

Paulino's suspension begins immediately and will extend into the 2011 season because Florida only has 42 games remaining.

"To control my weight this season, I used a dietary pill," Paulino said in a statement released by the team.

"I recently learned that the dietary pill contained a substance banned under Major League Baseball's drug policy. I am ashamed and saddened for disappointing and distracting my family, my teammates, the entire Florida Marlins organization and baseball fans."
