Here’s the funnier thing: was it really steroids? Not according to Yahoo! Sports reporters, it isn’t:
LOS ANGELES ? A source close to Manny Ramirez said Thursday that the illegal substance for which the Los Angeles Dodgers slugger tested positive was not ?an agent customarily used for performance enhancing.?
At least not on the baseball diamond. The source, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said the substance is supposed to boost sex drive. It is not Viagra, but a substance that treats the cause rather providing a temporary boost in sexual performance, the source said.
Ramirez tested positive for the substance during spring training, then was administered a second test more recently, and it also was positive. Major League Baseball notified Ramirez of the second positive test after Wednesday night?s Dodgers victory over the Washington Nationals. Ramirez admitted to having taken the substance and declined to appeal. His 50-game suspension begins today.
?The substance is not a steroid and it is not human-growth hormone,? the source said.
The other half is just… blah, but beside the point of what I’m trying to get across.
Manny getting a suspension for drug abuse? Maybe not so surprising.
Manny getting a suspension for banned sexual enhancer abuse? Okay, it got me chuckling.

If it was just a substance for sexual enhancement why isn’t he going to fight it?
Um because that wasn’t why he was taking it, it is a womens fertility drug that roid users take to help produce testosterone.

I said the same thing, like “DDDDAAAAMMMMNNNN!!!” That’s crazy!! :devil: But seeing that this steroid fiasco is getting out of control & that Bud Selig is a major idiot, something was due to happen that was extensive. :wtf:
Ha, everyone in baseball is juicing.
Except Chase, Jimmy, Ryan, and Shane of course.
Also Cole.
Also, Doc Halladay and Griffey (Juicers cant get injured that much :P)
That’s not rain. That’s the massive collection of tears falling from the masses who have Manny on their fantasy rosters.

If you actually think about it getting caught being juice isn’t that bad. Example if you suck and make around 1-3 million a year would you juice to to make 10-13 million a year? Think about it, yea you probably get caught get suspended for 50 games lose the hall of fame but what to say you would of made it there in the 1st place?
I don’t condone using performance enhancing drugs, but I can understand it.
Don’t LOL at me :sad:. You cursed yourself by trading for a Blue Jay player.
MY TEAM WILL MANAGE FOR 50 GAMES.
Hope the people taking down the “Mannywood” billboards in L.A. don’t fall off and die from rofl’ing
I figured I had to do it for the sake of the team, a reverse jinx. He can’t be doing worse than he is now - when Alex Rios turns the corner, remember to thank me.
Of course, if he gets suspended himself for 50 games or breaks his leg in a freak hang gliding accident or something next week…you’ll know who was responsible for that as well.

sooo can someone explain why manny was suspended for 50 games…i thought ur first offense was much much less.
Money says the Red Sox had a good idea about this and shipped his ass out before this happened. Bet it.
