Tough week to be a Baltimore sports fan, eh?

For the last five days, the city of Baltimore has been turned upside-down because of all the controversy surrounding former Ravens running back Ray Rice. And now, they've got yet another scandal on their hands thanks to Orioles first baseman Chris Davis. The Baltimore slugger—who hit 53 home runs during the 2013 MLB season—was just suspended for 25 games for testing positive for an amphetamine. And he claims that the suspension has come about as a result of him testing positive for Adderall.

Davis will miss the final 17 games of the Orioles' regular-season schedule as well as the first eight games of the postseason.
