If you had forgotten about disgraced slugger Manny Ramirez, his name was thrust back into headlines on the heels of a report that agent Scott Boras came up with some wacky explanation to cover up his positive PED test. It also included him asking Biogenesis founder Tony Bosch to falsify Ramirez’s records, who then reportedly told the DEA of Boras’ scheme.

From the Newsday:

"Anthony Bosch said Boras told him that the MLBPA needed him to produce a patient chart for Ramirez. Bosch responded that he didn’t keep records on his patients, so he fabricated a file for the union’s use.Boras, who is a California-based attorney with a doctorate in industrial pharmacology, told Bosch to include hCG, which is commonly used for weight loss, on Ramirez’s fabricated patient chart, Bosch said.Boras apparently believed it wasn’t banned by baseball, according to Bosch’s account.Boras also came up with a story, Bosch told the federal agents, about Ramirez’s elderly uncle using testosterone cream that resembled aftershave. Bosch added that since Ramirez had a weakness for women, as Boras’ story went, one night he unwittingly used his uncle’s cream as aftershave, resulting in a failed drug test due to high testosterone levels."

Pretty out there and no one probably would’ve believed it anyways. The Newsday report also says that Boras called a meeting to explain the test, and that meeting was held at the office of Bosch’s father, Dr. Pedro Bosch.

Not so surprisingly, Boras came out and denied the report.
