Dr. Pedro P. Bosch had been linked to the Manny Ramirez investigation, and was being looked into the DEA. How did he fit into the picture exactly? It was said that he was the source of the prescribed drug Manny Ramirez was caught taking to hide his use of steroids.

Manny Ramirez had stated after the accidental uncovering, “Recently I saw a physician for a personal health issue. He gave me a medication, not a steroid, which he thought was OK 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.”

The investigation has become complex, yet it only looks to get harder for both the MLB and the DEA as they seek the truth in this matter, despite Bosch breaking his silence the facts remain to be uncovered. Ramirez whom is looking to focus on the future in completion of his 50 game suspension may not be able to shake the fact that he is now part of a bigger investigation that will only continue to carry his name.

“ESPN even ran a clip showing me as I was leaving my office and getting into my car,” Bosch said in a statement issued through a Miami publicist. “I consider the allegations of ESPN outrageous and slanderous, and issue this statement to correct the misrepresentations made by ESPN.”

Ramirez finally admitted some guilt, trying to shed light to his involvement and why the illegal drug was found in his system but the source has yet to be officially uncovered.

“Recently I saw a physician for a personal health issue. He gave me a medication, not a steroid, which he thought was OK to give me. Unfortunately, the medication was banned under our drug policy. Under the policy, that mistake is now my responsibility.”

ESPN had released a statement pointing a finger at Bosch. Despite having rebuked the allegations, “in my thirty-three years of practicing medicine in Coral Gables, Florida, I have never prescribed HCG, not to Mr. Manny Ramirez nor to anyone else,” ESPN maintains their initial report, “We stand by the original story which reported Dr. Bosch is being investigated by the DEA”.

Furthermore Bosch disregards ESPN’s motive in placing the blame on him, “The allegations contained in the ESPN article are not only offensive but totally false,” Bosch said.

What is yet to be seen are any statements by Bosch or uncovering based on the origional release that the investigation was actually directed specifically at Bosch’s son Anthony, whom was thought to be the go between during the illegal transaction that violates more then just the NFL drug policy.
