When I first saw that Manny Ramirez received a 50 game suspension for performance enhancing drugs, I kinda shrugged. I didn’t think he was on them in the past, but at the same time, I’m done acting shocked when I find out a great home run hitter is juicing it up.
But after the story first surfaced, it’s now being said that he didn’t test positive for steroids or HGH, and that it’s something that was prescribed to him from a personal doctor.
I’m sure more and more will come out to this. And though he wasn’t right, as The Big Lead points out, you can probably chalk some points up to Jose Canseco.
As is, Ramirez is looking at a 50 game suspension, which will cost him just over $7 million.
