I wonder what he tested positive for. Pretty damn huge news for Dodgers fans.
They (the Fan) are saying it's not steroids but it is a PED/banned substance.
Thank god the Mets didn't go after him.

Major League Baseball announced Thursday that Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Manny Ramirez has been suspended for 50 games for violating its drug policy.

Ramirez
The commissioner's office didn't announce the specific violation by Ramirez, who will lose about one-third of his $25 million salary.
Ramirez's test result was first reported by the Los Angeles Times.
Scott Boras, Ramirez's agent, told ESPN's Peter Gammons that his client did not test positive for steroids, but for a drug that was prescribed by a doctor for a medical condition.
Triple-A outfielder Xavier Paul has been told by the Dodgers that he will be promoted later today, according to The Times. Ramirez would be eligible to return to the Dodgers' lineup for their July 3 game against San Diego.
In his first full season as a Dodger, Ramirez is batting .348 with six home runs and 20 RBIs. Los Angeles has bolted to a 21-8 record -- best in the majors -- and a 13-0 record at home that set the modern major league record for home winning streak to start a season.
The report of a Ramirez positive test is the second to rock the sport in three months. In February, New York Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez admitted that he used steroids from 2001-2003 while with the Texas Rangers.
What a retard, but then again, it's not easy to stay at the top of the game at 37 years old.
Some douchebag Yankee fan (department of redundancy department) made a new thread for this. We'll have to make sure to do the same when A-Roid is suspended.
This is already in the relevant MLB thread and is redundant and unneccessary.
I'm soooo pissed about this. How could he be so fucking retarded? What will this mean for the Dodgers?
They'll only win the NL West by 10 games instead of 25.
Very true. I'm sorry if I upset your feathers.
Do you foresee a 10 game losing streak? As in, the suspension becomes a morale crusher?Quote:
