A Miami-area doctor said Friday that he "never prescribed drugs of any kind whatsoever" to Manny Ramirez. The doctor is under investigation by the DEA for possibly supplying Ramirez with drug prescriptions. Sources claim that Pedro Publio Bosch provided Ramirez with a prescription for human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), which is banned by baseball as a performance-enhancing drug. "I consider the allegations of ESPN outrageous and slanderous, and issue this statement to correct the misrepresentations made by ESPN," Bosch said in a statement. "First, Mr. Manny Ramirez is not, nor has he ever been my patient. I have never prescribed drugs of any kind whatsoever to Mr. Ramirez. "Second, 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."
