In a related development, Manny Ramirez retired today after he tested positive for prohibited drugs for the third time. If he wanted to continue playing and was proved guilty he would have been suspended 100 games. What a beaut that guy is. Reporters here in the courthouse joked they wanted reaction from Barry Bonds re: Ramirez. But it doesn’t work like that. Doubtless Barry would have said it’s morally deplorable to use PEDs.
