The Los Angeles Times is reporting that Manny Ramirez has been suspended 50 games for a positive drug test.

Dodger star Manny Ramirez tested positive for performance-enhancing drugs. The suspension will begin tonight and last until July 3.

The test result and suspension is expected to be announced later today. The Dodgers informed triple-A outfielder Xavier Paul this morning that he was being promoted to Los Angeles.

Ramirez is expected to attribute the test results to medication received from a doctor for a personal medical issue, according to a source familiar with matter but not authorized to speak publicly.
