No T...just the opposite he's been a godsend. this does bring some clouds to the 80 degree day but can't say i'm totally shocked. whatever my bigger worry is the team sustaining until july.

edit: oh i see now where i messed up and confused you...i mixed up my "harm" and "good"

My friend Malcolm is going to be highly disappointed to hear this news as he just purchased a plane ticket to LA specifically to see the Dodgers.

I find it interesting...........if you go to a new doctor and they prescribe a medicine....wouldn't you check the banned substances list to see if that medicine was on it? Is it much more complicated than that? I mean, is it some derivative or component of the medicine that causes the hit or is he full of crap and on the juice? My vote is the latter................

If his official account of things were true, his representatives would be hurling accusations of malpractice and launching $100 million lawsuits against the doctor who slipped him the stuff.

Update from Espn:

According to the story: "HCG is a women's fertility drug typically used by steroid users to restart their body's natural testosterone production as they come off a steroid cycle. It is similar to Clomid, the drug Bonds, Giambi and others used as clients of BALCO." According to the story, male athletes usually use HCG after a cycle of steroids "because steroids often shut down the testosterone-making ability of the testicles. HCG restores their capacity to make testosterone." HCG may be used by some males in lieu of steroids, according to the source. Ramirez reportedly will not appeal the suspension.

Default Manny Ramirez SUSPENDED 50 games for pos drug

Once again, what does this teach our children? It's OK to cheat. (?) Manny and others should be banned forever. To let them play again only tells children that it's OK. If he does return, the Dodgers should have an asterisk next to their team name.

i'm reading now that Manny tested positive for the substance HCG, which is a women's fertility drug. from what i understand it seems like the drug HCG is used by serious steroid users who are looking to start back up the natural testosterone production in their body. if that's true then it looks like Manny is a committed and repeated user.
