Update 8:08 pm ESPN investigative reporter TJ Quinn is reporting that Manny Ramirez was using hCG, or human chorionic gonadotropin, a women's fertility drug that stimulates a man's ability to produce testosterone. It is commonly used at the end of a steroid cycle by bodybuilders and athletes.

Sorry Manny, you're off the list again. EA Blair - stop telling me what to do!

Update: 1:46 pm Peter Gammons reports that the banned substance was not a steroid or a performance-enhancing drug, but a prescribed medication. after consultation with the Players Association and his personal representatives, waived his right to challenge that suspension.

Okay, so I jumped the gun, as pointed out by resident memetician EA Blair via email. Welcome back to the list, Manny.

11:43 pm ESPN is reporting that Major League Baseball will announce today that Manny Ramirez will be suspended 50 games for violating the league's drug policy.

This is very disappointing news. Sorry Manny, you've just been removed from the fanboy list.
