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.

HE wears baggy uniforms for a reason,manny is a pretty big dude,genetically dominicans are thick.
-
That just means everyone else will just have to up the dose.
-
Where are you getting this info? I haven't seen anything on it yet.
-
wow... so much for that natural talent thing. he's got it, but ...
all drugs.
-

Oh, OK. I found it.

Good thing the sox dumped him before he got busted! .
The sox knew he was on steroids since he was traded from the Indians.

Canseco was....
(If only was for 50 games )
-
Cant wait for Jeter,Damon and Soriano to come next.

randy johnson used to use 5 grams test + 100mg dbol + 20iu gh + 50iu slin(pre pitching practice)
-

soriano is an interesting hitter. He can't weigh more than 175-180 but the guy can hit the ball father than anyone in the league.

i just said that today to someone,i was at a yankee game yrs ago ,the ball cracked off his bat and sailed like a golf ball deep into the bullpen,unreal.
-

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.
-
HGH is not specifically performance enhancing. It speeds up recovery from injuries.

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!
Manny did a lot of low class shit before he left, fuck em!
-

Says who you? Probably true, but there is no record of it, ha-ha. If there is show me? That has nothing to do with this anyway. He got caught on shit, today.....not 2 years ago.....today. Manny is a dumb bastard, but I didn't think he was this stupid.

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
-
It's just Manny being Mann.......ARod.
-
Cant wait for Jeter,Damon and Soriano to come next.
What baseball do you watch? Jeter and Damon hit a combined 15 home runs a yr. Dont need juice to do that
-
They're saying now he tested positive for HCG.
-
it looks like this guy is still the legitimate one season homerun king, the only thing he was on was cigarettes and beer.
-

I dont go by what I "watch" Im telling you because i know....
Who cares if they didnt hit more than 15 hrs combined???
have u ever heard of Neifi Perez ?
-

The pichers he faced were clean too.

Well tell us what YOU know Mr. Insider? You dont go by what you watch? How can you tell or suspect that someone is juicing?
Neiffi Pereez was a SS for the Rockies who tested positive for performance enhancers and wasnt a power hitter. So what?
Jeter and Damon arent on Steroids and your full of shit
-
Manny said it was not steriods he was banned for lol its medication from his doc
-
Jeter and Damon arent on Steroids and your full of shit
Damon would not surprise me.
The only current player that would at this point is Mariano Rivera.
-
where are the other 100 or so names who tested postive along with a-rod or a-roid depending if your a hater. the other 100 should also be named. what would really crack me up if curt schilling's name was on this list.
-

LOL!!
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.
It's not that serious Gloria.

huh?
Wasn't that just "Manny being Manny"?
Fucking sychophants

There goes my fantasy baseball team.

Tbombz, where did you get that crap from about Johnson??

He won't cry. Come to the sports boards and you'll see why - Body88 has no delusions about drug use in sports.
Every team, every year since the 90s has PED users. The fraudulent Mitchell report was worthless.
-
haha, It's almost funny these guys are getting suspended for what half the league already does. The government has a hard on for these guys.
Here's an idea, legal ALL of it. The end.
Impossible to cheat, other than corking a bat then.
-

The gov't has a hard on because of MLB's anti-trust exemption.

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!

The point is that you dont have to be a power hitter to be on the sauce ,not even a hitter, you idiot
How do I know about Damon and Jeter? If their names arent "out" yet?? LOL
Its the magic of the internet I guess"

They're saying now he tested positive for HCG.
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.
-
he just wanted some boner pills
-
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.
-
when they gonna take this BS witch hunt to the NFL? i'd like to see the clubs field a team after real testing.
-
how many shows would a probb be suspended for positive drug test
-
Tbombz, where did you get that crap from about Johnson??
You think Johnson will be in a sticky situation, stud?
-
Hahaha, the irony in all this is that there were countless Red Sux fans claiming that their players were clean, they were better, yahta, yahta. How many other Sux players are juiced? I'm going to go with Ortiz, Pedroia, and Tek at least.
-
Just think, with these players getting busted, it's no longer going to be any even playing field.
-
guys take gear just just to wear armani exchange tshirts to a club
why wouldn't guys take gear to make millions per year? Manny makes over $20 mill per year..easy choice if you ask me
-
Agreed, it's a no brainer. To get caught in this day in age in plain stupidity, though. If you don't think the players union is tipping these guys off, you're crazy. Manny has always been dumb as dirt.
-
David Ortiz is a juicer. Started after leaving the Twins.
-

Probably. Until he's caught (if) its just speculation though. I bet Pujols is on some shit. Shit, who isn't?
-
We're all preaching to the choir here. I wish they'd get rid of all the drug testing and stop acting like the moral police
-
David Ortiz is a juicer. Started after leaving the Twins.
80% of the league is. Has been for as long as I can remember.
-
why don't they just take HGH only?
-

Pujols definitely.
Notice how some power hitters slump a lot. Could be attributed to being off.
-
i find it funny when they say dominicans are naturally thick. have u ever been to the dominican republic?
-

Listen choulo read my post. I know about Neiffi Perez and I didnt say you have to be a powerhitter to juice. Im just saying Damon and Jeter arent taking shit. So "Mr.Magic of the internet" your not a insider and you have no information. Lets hear your source, Put up or shut up
-
Tbombz, where did you get that crap from about Johnson??
Sounds like a joke to me Coach.
-
maybe he was just trying to get pregnant?
-
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.
-
I'd rather they ban all the assholes on gear who hit 200.
-
Pujols definitely.
Notice how some power hitters slump a lot. Could be attributed to being off.
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.
-
i find it funny when they say dominicans are naturally thick. have u ever been to the dominican republic?
In latin America Cuban,Dominincas and Argentinians the average heigh is over 5'8" .....so with a little trainning its easier to get build (thick)...
I have been to many latin countries over the years and i always get amazed how taller than me most people are over there.

I am not an insider but i have played pro baseball and "hanged" with many of the baseball players mentioned in this thread for many many years most players travel to Dominincan Rep where i train most of them.....
Have you heard of Nao Percinal ??
-
what was the drug he tested positive for?

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.
-
jose canseco even insinuated that the iron man cal ripken was juiced. oh nooooooooo
-
what was the drug he tested positive for?
HCG? helps your test rebound when coming off a cycle.
