Summary
Former Chicago White Sox shortstop Alexei Ramírez tested positive for synthetic anabolic-androgenic steroids, meting out a mandatory provisional suspension. The positive test came from a sample taken during the 2026 World Baseball Classic, where Ramírez played for Cuba. He is the oldest player to participate in the tournament, breaking Roger Clemens’ record.
Our Reading
The game followed a familiar script.
Ramírez’s 44 years old, and he’s still trying to get ahead. He broke the record for oldest player in the World Baseball Classic, but it looks like he took a shortcut.
This is the same guy who played in the Olympics and the World Baseball Classic, but now he’s accused of taking steroids to get an edge.
It’s not like he’s the first one to try to cheat, and it won’t be the last.
He’s got the right to challenge the suspension, but it’s hard to see how he can justify taking steroids.
This one felt recognizable early.
