Title: Manny Ramirez will be suspended 50 games for positive drug test
Post by: body88 on May 07, 2009, 08:47:42 AM
Good thing the sox dumped him before he got busted!  He's going to say that the positive test can be attributed to a "medication" that he got from his doctor this year.

The suspension makes Ramirez the biggest star penalized under baseball's testing program that started in 2003.

Manny Ramirez has tested positive for performance-enhancing drugs and will be suspended 50 games starting today, The Times has learned.

The test result and suspension is expected to be announced later today. The Dodgers informed triple-A outfielder Xavier Paul this morning that he was being promoted to Los Angeles.

Ramirez is expected to attribute the test results to medication received from a doctor for a personal medical issue, according to a source familiar with matter but not authorized to speak publicly.

With the suspension taking effect with tonight's game at Dodger Stadium, Ramirez will not be eligible to return to the team until July 3.

Ramirez would become the biggest star suspended under an oft-criticized major league testing program that started in 2003. He had been a model citizen since arriving in Los Angeles last August, following a stormy tenure with the Boston Red Sox.


This is the second drug scandal to rock baseball within four months. In a year in which baseball officials hoped their greatest concern would be the slumping economy, the two highest-paid players in the game have been revealed to have failed a drug test.

Alex Rodriguez, the game's highest-paid player, acknowledged during a February news conference that he used steroids from 2001 to 2003. The admission followed a Sports Illustrated report that he failed a drug test in 2003, when players were not subject to suspension.

Good luck with that. Maybe Soriano. Maybe. The last time Soriano was with the Yanks, MLB didn't even have mandatory testing.

Now, Ortiz, Youkilis, Papelbon, Beckett, and Pedroia are lucky that MLB doesn't allow a blood test for HGH.

Riiiiight.

So are you saying that we can safely assume that he never, ever, ever used PEDs while he was with Boston?

I doubt A-Rod stopped when he came to the Yanks and I doubt Ramirez started when he arrived in LA.

I'm not saying anything.....I'm saying that he got busted for juice while with the Dodgers and I'm happy the sox let him walk for Bay.  I have no clue what he did years ago.  Focus on the topic at hand.  I've said at least 60% of pros are on something.  If your dumb enough to get caught then you're an idiot! I'm happy that they let the locker room cancer walk and that the sox don't have a missing left fielder for 50 games!

Hater in the house! Why not list other megastars from various MLB teams?  Why are you focusing on the sox?  None of those guys have even been caught.  Listen, I know the Yankees have had the steroid market cornered for the last two decades and that starting pitchers from your team have parents that sell meth, but you don't need to get all bent out of shape "Dario

I am a hater? Hipolito mentions current Yankees and a former one, but I am the hater?  Is that your other gimmick?

If by cornering the steroid market you mean signing players from other teams that were already using, then I guess you are right.
The only one, within the main core of Yankee players that won those championships since 1996 to have used steroids, was Andy.

Don't cry now at knowing that the most FEARED HITTER in those Boston teams that won the only 2 World Series in the past 90 years was cheating.

What the hell do the sox have to do with this, lol?  Manny was caught doing this as a Dodger, not as a player for the Redsox ( he def juiced as a Sox player....just like everyone else in the MLB - who cares?).  You're a Yankees fan talking about "tainted" wins when guys like Andy Pettie admitted to steroid use as Yankee players, but you rip on the sox when Manny gets bagged for drugs over a year later as a Dodger?  When someone brings up Yankee players the first thing you do is talk about the Redsox.  They are in your head!

Check our the sports board....I have no delusions about drugs in sports!  Btw, are drugs the reason the Yankees are 0-5 vs the sox this year?  Stop being so insecure man!

one can test males for hcg levels and typically if elevated is more of sign of a potential endocrine tumor, so if elevated and no sign of any tumors or cancer (other markers can be used), one can assume that the elevated levels are from exogenous use.

HCG can be taken by males to increase test production, without it causing a drop in sperm production.  I think this is what Manny is using as his defense because it was taken for "personal reasons" related to a relationship thing....  not saying it's true, but it is possible.  Obvioulsy HCG's most common use is to try to get the boys working again post cycle.  So who knows.  Guy is such a nutjob.

Soriano could have been juicing as a teen to try to get a pro contract. But he could also be clean. He's small but hits it along way because he swings all wrist, and his wrists are extremely strong.  He must have very strong tendons and ligaments.

Hank Aaron was not a big guy in his 20's, but he would hit 30 or 40 bombs a year with the same kind of swing. joe Morgan has compared them many a times, and I really doubt Aaron ever used steriods.

        You could be right about Pujols, but your logic is stupid.

Power hitters always go into slumps, and then hit hot streaks. Babe Ruth had many slumps in the 1920's. Long before Hitler experimented with giving his athletes test and other hormones, let alone steriods being available to US athletes.

Hitting a baseball is a skill of failure. The very best in the world still record more than 6 outs per every ten at bats. And every hitter can get hot for a while, so a slump has to happen sometime to balance this out.  Hitters have been slumping and getting hot streaks since baseball began.

Nowhere near the same as an IFBB pro looking like shit while off after retirement, or between cycles.

HCG can be taken by males to increase test production, without it causing a drop in sperm production.  I think this is what Manny is using as his defense because it was taken for "personal reasons" related to a relationship thing....  not saying it's true, but it is possible.  Obvioulsy HCG's most common use is to try to get the boys working again post cycle.  So who knows.  Guy is such a nutjob.

Manny lives around the block from me in Weston and we see him around all the time. Wifey trains with him from time to time (she is a pro athlete too in soccer) and he never seems "juiced" and I have seen juice for years in various sports. Taking hcg to increase test would not surprise me, but it is stupid and would not really help him. In other areas, he is the typical MLB dog.
