The clothing company confirmed this in a statement on Thursday.

“We believe sport should be fair. We have a clear policy regarding doping and we can confirm that our partnership with Fernando Tatis Jr. has come to an end,” reads a statement from an Adidas spokesperson.

The Dominican has also collaborated in the past with the major companies Gatorade, BMW, PlayStation and Dairy Queen, to name a few. It is not yet known if they intend to turn their backs on the 23-year-old player.

Recall that a screening test revealed the presence of Clostebol in the blood of Tatis, who was suspended 80 games by major league baseball last week.
