Wow. Manny Ramirez missed yesterday's game "while attending to a family matter". MLB informed Manny yesterday of an "issue" relating to drugs and apparently he was facing a 100 game suspension so rather than deal with that he just decided to retire. Buster Olney tweeted "Manny had been notified pending issue with drug/treatment program.Take this for what it's worth:Manny looked much bigger in spring training." Oh I'll take it for what it's worth. Cough *roids* cough. Actually get rid off the *cough*, Manny was juicing his ass off. He makes Jack LaLanne look like an amateur. Too soon?
What a badass though, right? He knew how strict the MLB is with their performance enhancing drug testing and suspensions. He failed a drug test two years ago and was suspended for 50 games. And yet he still did it. Then even more badass, when they caught him and he realized he would be suspended for 100 games he decided to stick it to them and just retire.
MLB released a statement that said:
"Major League Baseball recently notified Manny Ramirez of an issue under Major League Baseball's Joint Drug Prevention and Treatment Program," the statement said. "Rather than continue with the process under the Program, Ramirez has informed MLB that he is retiring as an active player. If Ramirez seeks reinstatement in the future, the process under the Drug Program will be completed. MLB will not have any further comment on this matter."
