This is an interesting point of view here on the subject, was the physician one of the MLB doctors, and if so, why would be not be aware of the banned substances? On the other hand, did Ramirez not see one of the MLB physicians and looked for help from a physician outside the MLB doctors? One more scenario, did he get it from a friend?
The drug in question is one that one that corrects testosterone levels after doing steroids it is reported. It is also used as a fertility drug for women trying to conceive, and I am sure that was not on his list. 
Perhaps he might has worried about this condition after the season was over too, just a thought if it was not crucial.

When it comes to money it appears everything goes until you get caught, scary to see this making inroads in healthcare, but more so from the data side of things with business intelligence working against those who do not have the information. See the related reading below on how algorithms create the solutions which are the grounds for decision we make today, and there is money, big money attached to those algorithms, like we all remember with Wall Street. When the queries are run and the assets can’t create the expressions desired, it’s down hill from there. BD
How is it that Major League Baseball players can't find medical doctors who know what constitutes a banned substance?
Look, I realize people like me who are restricted to certain insurance approved doctors will never, for instance, get any approval for payment for any treatment other than the common cold, except, of course, having eight kids at a time or a plastic surgery lip pump.
But Los Angeles Dodger Manny Ramirez, who has been paid more than $162 million in his career, could not find a medical doctor savvy enough to steer him away from the banned substances of Major League Baseball. Even this year, with his paltry $15 million annual guaranteed salary, Manny couldn't find a doctor to help him. Manny had to take a banned substance because, apparently, Major League Baseball's kajillion dollar HMO plan can't find doctors who were given or understand the banned substance list.
