Wow, does this surprise anyone? This story came out of left field, literally.

 

[HD MM]

50 games.

Report: Manny Ramirez of Los Angeles Dodgers tests positive for PEDs, will be suspended 50 games - ESPN

Holy F*!!!!!!!!

Again, I must be a fool, because he fooled the hell out of me. I always thought Manny was the one who never used. I said the same thing for A-Rod. Another sad day for baseball.

 

[pro96]

wow big news here in L.A, just got the text from ESPN.
So A-Roids is not the only one in the news now

[HD MM]

Me too. This is awful news. I don't care if your a fan of the Dodgers, Manny or not.

manny disgusted me the way he acted in boston towards the end but as a sox fan i always liked him- too bad

 

[salsadancer7]

Wow! So for ALL those that STILL think you can believe someone when they "look clean"...there ya go. Too bad too, because the Dodgers could be in deep trouble!

 

[rogerpl]

reports say Dr told him it wasnt banned- manny being manny- hopefully this is new and not something he has been doing for years

SO if you bank in the same bank as a terrorist, it makes you a terrorist??!! Same trainer, ok...you may have something there...but same gym??!! That is a bit of a stretch....

I loved Manny in Cleveland and he's always been one of my favorites. I thought he was pure talent. I'm very disappointed.

I know he's never been the sharpest knife in the drawer, but how dumb can you be to get caught in 2009? Seriously.....

THAT is the only thing that surprised me....that you would do PEDs NOW??!!

 

[grydlok]

Better question is what will the Dodgers do for "O" now?

 

[CharlesO]

Manny did not test positive for Steroids.....It was a drug that is banned by MLB that Manny received via a prescription.
MLB and Manny haven't said what it was, but a guess would by an asthma or allergy medication which often contain stimulants.

Ya know, it's funny...I watched the end of the Dodgers game last night to see if they'd win and I noticed that Joe Torre was rather subdued. We all know looking into a Torre dugout during a game you can't tell if Joe is up by 10 or down by 20, he is so stoic. However, in congratulating the team, etc. walking off last night Joe seemed "different" to me.

...Now I know why.

If that's the case, don't you think there would have been a massive education campaign by the player's union informing its members not to take certain allergy medications?

MLB has set up a 24/7 hotline for players to call if they are unsure of any medications, etc. they are about to take.

Or you would think that their personal trainers/nutricianist(sp?) would know what they are pumping into their clients... IF it was a mistake by a trainer....I would almost litterally kill him.
