Manny suspended 50 games for using PEDs!!!

[love_that_reefer]

I still say until there is concrete evidence, you cant 100% say that he did.

Not one person has even come close to saying that. I think its extremely stupid for thinking its stupid to assume Manny cheated before this spring.

Ramirez knew of impending ban

Posted by Chad Finn, Globe Staff May 12, 2009 04:03 PM

According to a report in the upcoming issue of Sports Illustrated, Manny Ramirez knew he would be suspended for testing positive for a banned substance since mid-April, but chose not to share the news with Dodgers management.

In an article titled "The Night the Lights Went Out in Mannywood," Tom Verducci revisits the night of May 6, when the Dodgers learned of Ramirez's impending 50-game ban, writing:

“Team owner Frank McCourt was notified by Major League Baseball executive vice president Rob Manfred that Ramirez had violated the joint drug agreement between MLB and the players’ association. For three weeks, in fact, Ramirez had been playing under the threat of suspension. A little past midnight McCourt broke the news to [manager Joe] Torre and [GM Ned] Colletti on a conference call: their left fielder would be suspended for 50 games for using a banned performance-enhancing drug. The news went public less than 12 hours later with a stupefying, sad sameness to it: yet another baseball great revealed as too good to be true. Apparently Mannywood was as much a myth as its namesake film industry.”

He did a good job keeping it under wraps.

So, can we assume that this wasn't the first time now?

Was this accidentally locked?

I might have clicked the close thread thing at the bottom of the quick reply box on accident.

And I stand by it

Nah, he never used until he left the Red Sox; they broke his heart. There's never been a user on that team. They're cleaner than clean and they're model citizens.

I think the only clean thing about the red sox is Youkilis' giant head.

[Providence A's]

I'm pretty sure his B & M hat is a little dirty at this point. He's on beans!

[HollywoodLeo]

Youkilis sweats through his helmet.

[Kingdom]

He's the reason that there's flooding all over the country
