Ramirez made released the statement through the MLB Player's Association.
From The LA Times:
"Recently I saw a physician for a personal health issue. He gave me a medication, not a steroid, which he thought was okay to give me. Unfortunately, the medication was banned under our drug policy. Under the policy that mistake is now my responsibility. I have been advised not to say anything more for now. I do want to say one other thing; I've taken and passed about 15 drug tests over the past five seasons.
"I want to apologize to Mr. McCourt, Mrs. McCourt, Mr. Torre, my teammates, the Dodger organization, and to the Dodger fans. LA is a special place to me and I know everybody is disappointed. So am I. I'm sorry about this whole situation."
- Manny Ramirez
This is still no excuse for not checking with team trainers/doctors about the medication. Although, you have to commend Ramirez for possibly admitting his "personal health issue" -- sexual incapability.
It's just Manny being Manny, right?
