[h1]Manny Ramirez will be suspended 50 games for positive drug test[/h1]

Dodgers left fielder Manny Ramirez prepares to head back into the field during a game against the San Diego Padres on Friday. Ramiez will be suspended 50 games for a positive drug test, The Times has learned.

The suspension makes Ramirez the biggest star penalized under baseball's testing program that started in 2003.

By Bill Shaikin and Dylan Hernandez Times Staff Writers
8:35 AM PDT, May 7, 2009
Manny Ramirez has tested positive for performance-enhancing drugs and will be suspended 50 games starting today, The Times has learned.

The test result and suspension is expected to be announced later today. The Dodgers informed triple-A outfielder Xavier Paul this morning that he was being promoted to Los Angeles.


Ramirez is expected to attribute the test results to medication received from a doctor for a personal medical issue, according to a source familiar with matter but not authorized to speak publicly.

With the suspension taking effect with tonight's game at Dodger Stadium, Ramirez will not be eligible to return to the team until July 3.

Ramirez would become the biggest star suspended under an oft-criticized major league testing program that started in 2003. He had been a model citizen since arriving in Los Angeles last August, following a stormy tenure with the Boston Red Sox.
This is the second drug scandal to rock baseball within four months. In a year in which baseball officials hoped their greatest concern would be the slumping economy, the two highest-paid players in the game have been revealed to have failed a drug test.

Alex Rodriguez, the game's highest-paid player, acknowledged during a February news conference that he used steroids from 2001 to 2003. The admission followed a Sports Illustrated report that he failed a drug test in 2003, when players were not subject to suspension.

Ramirez did not appear in the clubhouse after the Dodgers' 10-3 victory over the Washington Nationals Wednesday night. After the game, Dodgers General Manager Ned Colletti and Manager Joe Torre said they were unaware of any failed test or pending suspension.

As unconfirmed reports circulated around Dodger Stadium on Wednesday night, Scott Boras, the agent for Ramirez, declined to comment.

Major League Baseball spokesman Pat Courtney said he could not comment, citing the limitations stipulated in baseball's drug policy.

Rob Manfred, baseball's top labor lawyer, and Michael Weiner, general counsel for the players' union, did not return multiple messages.

The loss of Ramirez would leave a gaping hole in the Dodgers' lineup. Juan Pierre, the likely replacement for Ramirez in left field, has batted ninth in two of his five starts this season.

Ramirez doubled and drove in two runs on Wednesday, as the Dodgers set a major league record with their 13th consecutive home victory at the start of the season. The Dodgers have the best record in the major leagues, at 21-8, and the biggest division lead in the majors, at 6 1/2 games in the National League West.

Ramirez leads the Dodgers in batting average (.34, on-base percentage (.492) and slugging percentage (.641), and he is tied for the team lead in home runs with six.

He signed a two-year, $45-million contract with the Dodgers in March, with the first year guaranteed at $25 million and the second year at his option at $20 million.

In an appearance at USC last month, Jose Canseco said Ramirez's name "is most likely, 90%" on a list of 104 players that failed a drug test in 2003. The players were promised anonymity for taking tests in 2003; Rodriguez is the only player that has been identified among that group.

Ramirez laughed when Times columnist Kurt Streeter relayed Canseco's allegation to him.

"I got no comment, nothing to say about that," Ramirez told Streeter. "What can I say? I don't even know the guy."

I try so hard to find her attractive, but I really can't see it. I do appreciate a little thickness - I did see the Kardashians when she was dating Rashad McCants, bum.

my brother went to the game to day and said (for all you spanish heads) jenni rivera was sitting in the left field pavillion. he said she was 2 row in front of her at she was eating everything in sight! started with a pizza, then some ice cream, cracker jacks, and then some nachos. said the whole game she was eating. also, she was/is linked to esteban loaiza
when he told me i was

. i thought she would have better seats and/or have connects to get here closer. im sure nobody is dying to sit in the pavillion

what a trip, go a page back or so and we were talking about the rivera family.

i guess esteban still is pulling strings at the ravine

I'm surprised espn.com hasn't run wild with this....

[Los Angeles]

Did that lame LB510 really have to quote the whole thing?

And post a picture of a T-Shirt - being the worst photography I've ever seen?

How old are you?

 

[sinser13]

time for Either to step it up.

Dodgers still better than the giants without Manny.

 

[p mac one]

This sucks.

 

[jrdnkiks213]

Pierre starting for the next 50 games....

... Hopefully Xavier Paulovertake the job soon.

 

[sinser13]

So how does our batting order look like now?

 

[Los Angeles]

All good Xavier Paul has been called up

I think we all knew Manny was juiced, we probably talked about it wayyy back when Canseco mentioned it.

He just doesn't get the scrutiny as lets say Bonds, because Bonds was a douche.

Manny kept it real, and gave the media what they wanted.

& during spring training, remember we all said something was wrong with Manny, like he really wanted to say something or something was on his chest ... goddamnit it was the roids

Luckily, this steroid use probably started late in his Cleveland Indians day to Boston - so the Dodgers are just getting the brunt of this !+$%.

50 games? He comes back around what ... July?

I'll be the voice of reason and say the Dodgers will be ok - hoping Ned Colliti can do something..........

 

[p mac one]

I don't even want to say anything until more information comes out.
