Manny Ramirez Suspended

Manny Ramirez of the Dodgers has been suspended from Major League Baseball for 50 games for a positive drug test.

Ramirez says that he went to see his Doctor about a medical issue and was given some medication. He didn't realize that it's a substance that is banned under their drug policy. He apologies to all he has let down by the incident as the responsibility is his.

Manny will lose a good chunk of his salary as players are not paid during any suspensions.

The loss of such a great player will leave a gaping hole in the Dodger's line up, with Juan Pierre being the likely replacement.
