The news coming out today that Manny Ramirez will be suspended 50 games by Major League Baseball after testing positive for PED’s.

UPDATE: It now appears that the drug he took was HCG (human chorionic gonadotropin). This is a hormone that can be taken at the end of steroid cycles, or can be prescribe to treat hypogonadism (lack of functioning of the gonads). Manny claims it is the latter, a medical issue. This sexual enhancement is costing Manny 50 games, and will somewhat tarnish his name. Long story short, Manny may be legit, but don’t count on it.
