White Sox general manager Ken Williams didn’t mince words about Los Angeles Dodgers slugger Manny Ramirez and past violators of Major League Baseball’s drug and substance abuse policy.

"My reaction to Manny is not an isolated reaction," Williams said. "It’s the same as any reaction I’ve had to all these guys. I think it’s fraud. You enter into a deal. You enter into a deal with a certain understanding, a certain expectation of past performance and projection of future performance. From my perspective, if I enter into a deal with a player with those assumptions, it’s incumbent upon them to be above board with everything, and if they’re not, I think it’s fraud."

Williams endorsed MLB’s drug testing policy but admitted Ramirez’s 50-game suspension was bad for baseball.

“Any time the purity of the game is put at risk, the competitiveness, the equal chance to compete on the field on a daily basis, yes it is,” Williams said. "Absolutely to the determent of the game and we are, as players, as people in management and coaches and everyone on the peripheral, I think there’s a responsibility. You guys are part of that group. There is a responsibility to be caretakers of the game, and conduct ourselves that people before us did so. Yes, if anyone tells you it’s not a black mark each time any of these things happen, I think they’re kidding themselves."
