So What Will The Dodgers Do with Those Mannywood T-Shirts?

There are a lot of reports coming out all morning. Please keep in mind that nothing below is confirmed or etched in stone.

• In the beginning of April Jose Canseco spoke at USC's Bovard Auditorium to an empty house. As Kurt Streeter of the LA Times reported, "To Canseco, the drawn-out negotiation, the lack of a long-term deal, the lack of interest all raise red flags, and so he tells the Bovard crowd that Ramirez's "name is most likely, 90%," on the list."

  The "list" being the list of 104 baseball players who tested positive in 2003 which kickstarted MLB's current drug policy.

• Reportedly two sources told ESPN's TJ Quinn and Mark Fainaru-Wada that the substance Ramirez tested positive for was human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG). It is a hormone that is naturally produced during pregnancy by an embryo soon after conception and is commonly used as a female fertility drug. hCG restarts the body's testosterone production and is reportedly used by steroids users when they are coming off a cycle.
• Deadspin's editor AJ Daulerio recounted a tip given to him by Jennifer Navoy back in January that got him close to breaking news that Ramirez was tied to performance enhancing drugs. Navoy and her husband Christian Navoy were being prosecuted by the federal government for illegally selling bodybuilding drugs out of their home. While he managed to get his hands on a document that had Ramirez's name in conjunction with a shipment, an non-matching address was linked thereby crushing the story.
• Will Carroll of Baseball Prospectus spoke with sources who said that the doctor who prescribed hCG to Ramirez had an outdated list of banned substances by MLB - hCG had been banned during this offseason.

With all of that out there, I have always believed that Ramirez was on something. The same way I believe that Albert Pujols, Alex Rodriguez, Adam Dunn, Derek Jeter and most baseball players are on something. The simple fact is that there is still no test for human growth hormone, so the illusion of saying that baseball is clean now is just naive.

It's also naive to believe that this was a case of Manny not knowing any better despite the statement he issued this morning.

I really tried to be shocked by the news this morning, but unfortunately I'm not. With the specter of the "Steroids Era" hanging over baseball and remaining unresolved we will see more days like this across the country.

So the question remains: what WILL the Dodgers do with those Mannywood t-shirts?
