Manny Ramirez, drug test, suspended, 50 games



The Los Angeles Times' Web site, latimes.com, is among those reporting that Manny Ramirez has been suspended by Major League Baseball for 50 games after testing positive for performance-enhancing drugs.

According to Sports Illustrated, Ramirez may have been taking the substance for medical purposes and, while still a banned performance enhancer, may not have been a steroid.

If the suspension is not mitigated or changed in any way, the unpaid time off will cost Ramirez $7.7 million, according to the LA Times.
