Homer Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 a-rod should take whatever blame that's coming his way. same with manny if he used. but read the article. it definitely does not say it was steroids.

Homer Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 agreed. everyone can hate on schilling all they want, but at least he's willing to say something about it. unlike the rest of those cowards.

TrumpeteerNYR Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 this shatters my faith in the longball hitter. I truly hope it's not steroids and something for a medical condition, because watching him hit the ball is incredible. don't know if anyone can deny how pure and smooth of a swing he has...

baseballfans Posted May 7, 2009 Author Share Posted May 7, 2009 Manny decided to not appeal it. I agree because if JC Romero can't win an appeal after taking an over the counter drug from GNC, then Manny has no chance to win for taking a prescription drug.

krawhitham Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 MLB confirmed 50 game ban Agent claims it was not a "steroid" and it was a prescription drug for a medical condition It was a doctor from Florida, better than a cousin from the dominican I guess Link to comment https://www.mvpmods.com/forums/topic/39436-manny-ramirez-tested-positive-for-ped-50-games-suspended/#findComment-568105 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 but this now begs the question is to why they didn't mention this before? it's not like his doctor can just say he didn't know manny was a baseball player. oh, and by the way they test for PED's, and "i don't know if the drugs i'm trained to know about, and required by law to know about, will interfere with those tests."

lesmoore Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 From Sports Illustrated.com: Ramirez ranks 17th on the all-time home-run list with 533. Eight of those top 17 home run hitters played in what is commonly referred to as the Steroid Era. And six of those eight modern-day sluggers have been associated with performance-enhancing drugs: Barry Bonds, Sammy Sosa, Mark McGwire, Rafael Palmeiro, Rodriguez and Ramirez. The only modern sluggers to have escaped such a connection are Ken Griffey Jr., Frank Thomas and Jim Thome. Very interesting facts in my opinion Link to comment https://www.mvpmods.com/forums/topic/39436-manny-ramirez-tested-positive-for-ped-50-games-suspended/#findComment-568109 Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-Unit Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 This is a "quote" from Manny, something you can tell he didn't think of saying himself... "Recently I saw a physician for a personal health issue. He gave me a medication, not a steroid, which he thought was OK to give me," Ramirez said. "Unfortunately, the medication was banned under our drug policy. Under the policy that mistake is now my responsibility. I have been advised not to say anything more for now. I won't give him the benefit of it being medicine, cause honestly half of the people try to get off the hook on that whether it's true or not. Kinda like how his knee always starts killing him at the first week of spring training as well as the week before the all-star break.

D-Unit Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 Yeah but that doesn't seem prepared by him. It just sounds so full of sh*t because that's not how he is. He waits for a 50 game suspension to try and sound professional to the media? I doubt it.
