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................

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.

Are there any home run hitters left who haven't been accused of taking steroids? It really became a matter of if you didn't take them you would fall behind the other players. You almost had to follow suit just to survive.

In order to compete with the big auction houses I might have to take steroids.

As for the remaining few clean HR hitters: Griffey, Jr. and Jim Thome. Anyone else?

Thome; I'm not so sure about
Jeff:
Thome's build and power stroke is very similar to many of the other known "cheaters" and with the way his game evolved; I'm instinctively not so sure Griffey's career followed a normal arc and I believe he is cleaner than most. And in something almost forgotten; Manny Alexander once took the rap for steroids found in Manny's car. Something now tells me with more certainty; that was a pre-arranged guilt trip for Manny A, Regards Rich

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.
