about Manny Ramirez
What drug Manny Ramirez got banned for? (reportedly not a steroid), but it's becoming clear baseball is a joke.

Right now, we don't know for sure. However, there are anonymous sources claiming it is a female fertility drug.
From ESPN:
"...two people with knowledge of the case told ESPN's Mark Fainaru-Wada and T.J. Quinn. The sources said that in addition to the artificial testosterone, Ramirez was identified as using the female fertility drug human chorionic gonadotropin, or hCG."
And later in the article:
"ESPN reported earlier that testing showed Ramirez had used hCG, which is typically used by steroid users to restart their bodies' natural testosterone production as they come off a steroid cycle. It is similar to Clomid, the drug Barry Bonds, Jason Giambi and others used as clients of BALCO."
