The medical museum turned out to be rather diverting. I got to mock the dominant discourse with my professor. Which is more fun than it sounds.
Klingon uses prefixes rather than suffixes, and instead of having six or seven of them, like most romance languages, it has 29

Happy Birthday GC!
It was Clomid (or rather something similar)
I wonder how many follicles he got on this round?

Which apparently is something you use at the end of a steroids cycle, though it has testosterone boosting effects of its own.
It's telling that he's just accepting the suspension and apologizing.
Sucks. I was enjoying the effect Manny had on the Dodgers, even as I root against them.
Emmett's going to be so bummed. I hate telling him. It's just been one disillusionment after another for him.

Cheater! Mr. Tinyballs!"

The Union has been advising them to only take drugs from the team doctor. I'm pretty sure Manny knew he was cheating and didn't take this drug by accident. And I say that as a Manny fan who would rather believe he's capable of putting up Hall of Fame numbers without assistance.
It's a drug whose legitimate medical use is pretty much limited to jump starting testosterone production for fertility reasons or conditions that cause testosterone production to shut down. One of those conditions is, of course, taking steroids. It's also used off label for a controversial weight loss program. You note that he said it was to treat an unnamed medical condition. I guess he didn't want to say it was to treat man boobs and in inability to get it up.
