Major Leaguer Ramirez banned from 50 games

Ramirez has been banned after being found using PEDs

Major league Baseball seems to be hitting new lows after new allegations rise about players polluting the game with illegal performance enhancing drugs.

Manny Ramirez of the Los Angeles Dodgers has become the biggest star to be suspended for violating baseball’s drug policy, accepting a 50 game punishment last Thursday after dropping his plans to appeal.

Ramirez, 36, who former Dodgers manager and hall of famer Tom Lasorda called the teams most popular player since it moved to Los Angeles in 1958, will leave the game on the eve of New York Yankees star Alex Rodriguez’s return. Rodriguez had never been suspended from a game until earlier this year when he acknowledged he used PED’s from 2000 to 2003.

His return coincides with the release of a book that speculates Rodriguez used anabolic steroids for longer then he claims.

(A review of this book will be posted on the site as soon as possible).
