Manny Ramirez Tested Positive For HCG

Manny Ramirez will miss playing 50 games for the Major League Baseball as he has been tested positive by MLB for performance enhancing medicines. HCG or human chorionic gonadotropin was found during his medical exam and fluid tests.

What does human chorionic gonadotropin or HCG do? Well, it depends upon the gender of the patient. For females, it has been known to promote pregnancy. For males, however, it stimulates testosterone production. And we now know what that means.

Anyway, too bad for Manny Ramirez. He's bound to lose up to $7.5M in salary benefits from the Dodgers. Reports say the he will soon be seeking legal action because it was his doctor who prescribed this medicine to him for a medical condition that he's currently being treated for.

What is that medical condition? Sorry, Manny Ramirez is not exactly telling reporters and his fans.
