Alexei Ramírez, the former Chicago White Sox shortstop, has tested positive for four anabolic steroids during the World Baseball Classic held in March. The International Testing Agency (ITA) reported that Ramírez, who is 44 years old, tested positive for metabolites of mesterolone, metandienone, oxandrolone, and stanozolol. This announcement comes with a provisional ban from the sport. Ramírez set a record as the oldest player to participate in the tournament, surpassing the previous record held by Roger Clemens. Throughout his nine-year Major League Baseball career, Ramírez hit 115 home runs and recorded 590 RBIs. He also represented Cuba in the Olympics, winning a gold medal in 2004 and contributing to a silver medal at the World Baseball Classic in 2006. The steroids identified are known for promoting rapid muscle growth and enhancing physical performance, which raises concerns about the integrity of the sport.
