Manny Ramirez is shining in the spotlight! ONLY this is not the typical spotlight where you hear the crowd clapping, cheering, and yelling HIP HIP HOORAY! Ramirez is suspended a whoopin' 50 games after a drug test! Yup. I think I know what your thinking. The Los Angeles left fielder was taking drugs. Actually that's not the exact story. He is accused of taking steroids but Ramirez says that he got a medication from his doctor and it contained a banned substance. The reason why he got the medication in the first place was because he went to his physician for a health issue. Why did the doctor give him the medication if there was a banned substance in it? Ramirez speaks for his doctor and claims that the doctor thought that it would be okay to give him. He apologized to his teammates about the entire condition. Heartfelt fans have sympathy for Manny Ramirez. No one reealizes how much pain the major league star must go through. He was suspended one day before he may have had the oppurtuntity to rejoin the New York Yankees.
