One of Atlanta's top prospects, Jordan Schafer, recently ended his silence about his 50-game drug suspension last season, telling reporters that he never took HGH but that the punishment was deserved.

"I've never failed a test. I've taken 20 drug tests, and I've never failed one. I didn't take anything," Schafer told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

Schafer said he's guilty of hanging around the wrong people.
