Photo of the Day

May 8, 2009 by Marc Lamont Hill

Today’s photo of the day shows Manny Ramirez, who was banned 50 games by Major League Baseball for taking banned substance. To be honest, I’m not surprised that he took banned substances. Contrary to what the media would have you believe, everyone, not just Barry Bonds (allegedly), took performance enhancers. I am, however, surprised by the ridiculous excuse Manny and his team gave for his behavior. Apparently he had a “personal health issue” that forced him to fly 2000 miles away from training camp, and the Dodgers team doctor, and begin using a female fertility drug. Hmmm. Perhaps something was wrong with his ovaries…

This just makes me an even bigger fan of Ken Griffey Jr. who clearly didn’t take any PEDs.
