Manny Ramirez suspended 50 games for positive PED test

As if baseball didn't have enough of a public relations problem, news come out today Manny Ramirez has tested positive for PEDs. He will be suspended 50 games, effective immediately. I guess it shouldn't surprise anyone, as any player who has ever had a good season lately was most likely on them. The fact that they haven't gotten caught does not necessarily prove their innocence, it's probably more of an indictment on MLB's crappy drug testing.

In the past six months, arguably baseball's two most elite players have either been busted or have admitted to using PEDs. You would think as shady as baseball is, they would simply try to hide it under the rug. The only thing left to complete the trifecta would be if Albert Pujols tests positive for performance enhancers. And, sorry, you've got to be kidding yourself if you don't think he's on them.

  1. Any pro baseball player who does performance enhancing drugs and expects not to get caught has gotta be crazy
