Former White Sox Shortstop Ramírez Tests Positive for Four Steroids at WBC
Former White Sox shortstop Alexei Ramírez, 44, tested positive for metabolites of four anabolic steroids (mesterolone, metandienone, oxandrolone, stanozolol) at the World Baseball Classic, earning a provisional ban; the ITA notes these steroids boost muscle and strength, and Ramírez—the tournament’s oldest player—helped Cuba not advance from pool play.
