They did not find steroids or HGH. So what was it? They found a "banned substance" - not specifically performance enhancing. Manny claims it is from medication given to him by a doctor. I'm waiting for the whole story to come out. There are some things on the "banned substance" list that are narcotics and such... have nothing to do with enhancing performance. The 50 games are not arbitrary - it is the penalty listed for the offense of having these substances in your blood.

In the meantime, I am hoping that the ban will be reduced or rescinded if the substance is found to be rather benign.

Damn.
