Ramirez tested positive for: Sexual Enhancer*

Manny Ramirez's 50-game suspension is because Manny was using a sexual enhancer. Via Yahoosports....

"A source close to Manny Ramirez said Thursday that the illegal substance for which the Los Angeles Dodgers slugger tested positive was not “an agent customarily used for performance enhancing.”

At least not on the baseball diamond. The source, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said the substance is supposed to boost sex drive. It is not Viagra, but a substance that treats the cause rather providing a temporary boost in sexual performance, the source said."

Wow! Manny must be taking some type of women's fertility drug.

And if he is using this drug, then he had to have taken steroids at some point. I remember reading "Game of Shadows" and the book talking about how Barry Bonds had to use a fertility drug to restart his testosterone. They take fertility drugs because steroids have opposite affects on people. When a man takes steroids, they lose their testosterone and gain estrogen. And the opposite for women.

So Ramirez at one point had to be taking some type of steroids. Why else would he need a fertility drug?

UPDATE: Yep I was right. Manny tested positive for a fertility drug. Via ESPN....

However, two sources told ESPN's T.J. Quinn and Mark Fainaru-Wada that the drug used by Ramirez is HCG -- human chorionic gonadotropin. HCG is a women's fertility drug typically used by steroid users to restart their body's natural testosterone production as they come off a steroid cycle. It is similar to Clomid, the drug Bonds, Giambi and others used as clients of BALCO.

A source with intimate knowledge of steroids told ESPN that a male athlete usually uses HCG after a cycle of steroids because steroids often shut down the testosterone-making ability of the testicles. HCG restores their capacity to make testosterone. The source said that some males may use HCG in lieu of steroids also. HCG by itself can provide a substantial boost in the body's own testosterone, and this may provide some performance-enhancement benefits.

How freaking amazing is that. You have to be paid big bucks to inject yourself with the same type drug the Octomom used to have so many kids.

I mean take a step back for a moment and think about this. A man comes up to you and says "inject yourself with this and you will add a couple more points to your batting average." So you take the drugs but your manhood starts faltering. So you have to take a WOMEN'S fertility drug to jump start your manhood. Just amazing to think about.
