However, two sources told ESPN's T.J. Quinn and Mark Fainaru-Wada that the drug used by Ramirez is HCG -- human chorionic gonadotropin. HCG is a women's fertility drug typically used by steroid users to restart their body's natural testosterone production as they come off a steroid cycle. It is similar to Clomid, the drug Bonds, Giambi and others used as clients of BALCO.So, what does a guy like Manny need with a fertility drug similar to Clomid? Nothing, as far as I can tell. I've seen a few people speculate that he might have needed the drug to boost his sexual performance, but if this sort of drug helped guys out, you'd think it would be somewhat more popular.
In the end, this is just another black eye for baseball in a long chain of black eyes. If this continues, how much longer can the writers use PED use as a reason to keep players out of the Hall of Fame?

Manny seems to have so much talent, it's surprising that he felt the need to use; heck, it's surprising that he was dumb enough to use
