LOS ANGELES – A source close to Manny Ramirez(notes) said Thursday that the illegal substance for which the Los Angeles Dodgers slugger tested positive was not “an agent customarily used for performance enhancing.”
At least not on the baseball diamond. The source, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said the substance is supposed to boost sex drive

Interesting development . . .
Manny Ramirez - OF - Los Angeles Dodgers - May 12 2009 10:24AM est - Top Rotoworld.com News
News: According to the L.A. Times, Manny Ramirez abruptly dropped an appeal of his 50-game suspension after realizing that Major League Baseball had his medical records.
Impact: The records showed his prescription of human chorionic gonadotrophin, a substance banned by MLB policy. Teams are required to release medical records under the league's new performance-enhancing drug prevention program and Manny was basically cornered. He hasn't spoken publicly since the punishment was levied.

No HCG in his urine tests...looks like it was straight JUICE!
"No trace of the medicine HCG was found in Manny Ramirez's system at the time of his drug test, three sources with specific knowledge of the results have told The Times. It was a prescription for that drug, which is a non-steroid but banned by Major League Baseball, that led to the outfielder's 50-game suspension for violating the league's drug policy.
One of the sources with knowledge of the test results confirmed that the outfielder's sample was flagged for having an unusually elevated synthetic testosterone level, more than four times that of the average male. Sources also said that MLB's decision to move to suspend Ramirez would have happened only if the report showed a banned substance. Anti-doping experts said the absence of HCG (human chorionic gonadotropin), coupled with the league's action, indicated that the Dodgers' outfielder used steroids."
