"Recently I saw a physician for a personal health issue. He gave me a medication, not a steroid, which he thought was OK to give me," Ramirez said. "Unfortunately, the medication was banned under our drug policy. Under the policy that mistake is now my responsibility. I have been advised not to say anything more for now.
"I do want to say one other thing; I've taken and passed about 15 drug tests over the past five seasons. I want to apologize to [Dodgers owner Frank] McCourt, Mrs. McCourt, [manager Joe] Torre, my teammates, the Dodger organization, and to the Dodger fans. LA is a special place to me and I know everybody is disappointed. So am I. I'm sorry about this whole situation."

I tried the same excuse once
I told the judge that for my anxiety that my personal doctor prescribe blow and hookers and I didn’t know it was illegal even if a Dr. prescribed it.
"Over? Did you say "over"? Nothing is over until we decide it is! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell no!"

Your doctor prescribes hookers?
Is he seeing new patients?

Wait! Do you hear that?
There’s a strange echo in Chavez Ravine
"2009 Padres.....Yeah, we're still here.
Eh
Sad thing is, not too long ago we wouldn’t even have heard about a first positive test. I am enjoying the Dodgers misery, but am a little disappointed with Manny.
A-Rod was unavailable for comment
At least he admitted what he did, this guy takes the cheap road and blames his doc
Does MLB make the list of banned substances public?
Winfield goes back to the wall. He hits his head on the wall -- and it rolls off! It's rolling all the way back to second base! This is a terrible thing for the Padres. - Jerry Coleman
Wiki has a non-exhaustive list
Memo to baseball managers: You manufacture runs by NOT making outs, not by making them on purpose.
Manny back for Padres July 3
Figures we have to play against him in 8 of first 20 games and then his first series back.
That's only assuming
He doesn’t appeal.

So the drug he got caught for
was an estrogen amplifier? To restart his testosterone cycle?
That makes this even funnier. Manny taking estrogen pills.
“Doc! I got a personal health issue!”

Really?
I don’t see what the big deal is… Manny was just trying to increase his fertility with HGH. His egg count was low and his doctor told him that he was about to enter menopause and this might be his last chance to have a baby.
On a side note… he joins an elite list of players and other notables:
Barry Bonds
Alex Rodriguez
Roger Clemens
Sammy Sosa
Marc McGwire
Rafael Palmeiro
Jose Canseco
Gary Sheffield
Jason Giambi
Miguel Tejada
Ken Caminiti
Wally Joyner
Benito Santiago
Andy Pettite
on ESPN (6 of the top 17 all time in homers have admitted or been linked to steroids)
I have come to the conclusion, if you are good at baseball, you must be on steroids.

I always forget
What’s the evidence vs. Slammin’ Sammy?

Guilty?
