I will make this short and sweet: Manny Ramirez is either a complete idiot or a complete liar.
So, he claims that his doctor prescribed the medication that caused him to fail the drug test, and that he (Ramirez) was unaware that the substance was banned. Really? You didn't know?
Let's just say that Manny is telling the truth, and he really had no idea that he was taking a banned substance. How hard is it to get a definitive answer?
Manny: Hello Office of Major League Baseball, this is Manny Ramirez, and my doctor just prescribed for me x,y, and z. Can I take these?
Major League Baseball: Well, no...actually those are on our list of banned substances.
Manny: Okay...thanks.
Wow...that was rough. Look, I know that Manny is a busy guy, but come on: it is part of your job to know what you are putting in your body, and whether or not it's a banned substance.

When he was in Boston we didn't call him the truth.
