This is a motherfuckin outrage! 50 day suspension for HCG.
Once again the baseball players are in the news. They love to fuck we these poor guys but never the NFL. Like James Harrison or Joey Porter haven't taken gear.
Let alone the 300+ pound guys on the line.
I wonder if they wanna claim the HCG helped him drive in more runs, lol! Fuckin US amazes me sometimes. And my boy Phelps, making him look bad for smoking weed when he is one of the most elite atheletes in the world. You gotta love are government.

This is my thinking without knowing exactly how they test for Steroids (is it elevated hormone levels, certain esters, certain hormones, etc???). Manny may have been on Dr. prescribed Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) at a low enough dose to keep him within normal ranges, which would keep him from testing positive if the test was simply looking for elevated levels of testosterone. Being given HCG would keep LH and FSH levels high enough for his testes to stay active and it would more than likely keep him fertile. That could be the only "legal" reason I could come up. The other scenario is that he was on a good amount of gear during the off season, knows nothing about HCG and PCT, couldn't recover, had issues with his dick, and got the HCG prescribed to help him recover... I'm going to say option #2 is probably more accurate.

He deserves every bit of that 8 million dollar loss and 50 game suspension! Anyone in sports and looking to enhance their game , is aware of what is and is not legal. He used his Doc as a scape goat...Period!!
He should be alot more upset if he really didn't know. I would be throwing a fit , if my Doc gave me something in question. His Doc should get slammed in some way also. He knew what he was doing.....come on now...you all aren't buying this shit.......are you???
