Kinney
On August 24, 2010, while with the Triple-A [[Fresno Grizzlies]] of the Pacific Coast League, Kinney received a 50-game suspension after testing positive for an amphetamine, a banned performance-enhancing substance. Kinney took responsibility for the suspension but explained that the amphetamine in question was contained in [[Adderall]], a drug he has been taking since 2005 to treat his [[attention deficit hyperactivity disorder]], and was taken for medical reasons, not to boost his on-field performance. The suspension came as a result of his forgetting to file the proper paperwork with Major League Baseball when he signed with the Giants earlier in the year.<ref>[http://www.pressherald.com/news/Maine-Kinney-ADHD-adderall-amphetamines-baseball-suspension.html Maine native Kinney explains baseball suspension] ''[[Portland Press Herald]]''</ref>
