I didn't realize the Royals were in first. Now I don't feel so bad about the M's losing both games against them.
 
I guess his claim is that it was something a doctor gave him that happened to be banned, not steroids or anything...who knows.
Apparently stuff such as hair regrowth drugs are on the banned list, so maybe he's being truthful, maybe those dreads aren't all they're cracked up to be.

J.C. Romero got fucked by the policy as well. I'm still skeptical of what Manny really did.
 
Female fertility drug. Typically use by roid ragers at the end of a cycle to kick start normal testosterone develpoment. According to "sources".

Well, if he used a drug meant to level someone off after use of steroids, he's fucked. He'll never be forgiven.
 
manny is claiming that he was prescribed the drug because, well, his balls stopped working.

yes indeed... manny being manny.

Fuck it, I'd rather just say I was on roids. So Manny is basically using a combo of "it was B12/flaxseed oil" and "it was something I found in Miguel Tejada's locker". Just substitute female hormones for B12 and doctor for Miguel Tejada.

I honestly don't give a crap about PEDs, but this does kind of suck, because other people give a crap and will drag this story to death.
 
Yeah I suppose...that would be more like if Raffy blamed it on Viagra.
 
Whether you're a Simmons fan or not, or a Red Sox fan or not, this is a really good read:

Bill Simmons: Manny Ramirez's positive drug test makes the Sports Guy confront his worst nightmare - ESPN

"He never was; Pedro Martinez was. Manny was my favorite hitter. I loved Pedro the most."

I am dreading the next question. I am dreading it. I do not want him to ask it. I know it's coming.

"Did Pedro cheat?"

Silence.

That's me. That would kill me. As much as I say I don't care about PEDs (and I honestly don't; my head says so many guys use that it really doesn't matter), if Petey used PEDs that would be my Shoeless Joe "Say it ain't so, Joe" moment. If he did I really, really don't want to know.
 
anytime ya wanna feel better about having to root for these guys just tell a fan from the 50s and 60s that willie mays took amphetamines and watch their reaction... full and total denial.

cheating is baseball. it's never been a level playing field and it never will be. and there's a lot to suggest that the effects of these drugs are minimal, anyways. this is all a media driven witch hunt, as most things in our society are today.
