He retired in 2011 rather than face a 100-game suspension after testing positive for a performance-enhancing substance. He applied for reinstatement that December, and his suspension for the second failed test was cut from 100 games to 50 because he sat out nearly all of the 2011 season.Ramirez did not play in the majors again, although he did appear at Triple-A from 2012-14.Roger Clemens and Barry Bonds, also tainted by steroids allegations, are on the ballot for the fifth time.

But they turned things around to dominate the final 40 minutes and drew the equaliser just before the hour mark on the strength of a goal from Erik Lamela.Despite rescuing a point, things took a turn for the worse as starting goalkeeper Hugo Lloris was forced off due to injury in the 36th minute.

We need to address that because it was evident again that we lack a cutting edge. If we had scored first I think wed have won. I think overall we played well and we had a big chance at 0-0 when Wilfried (Zaha) should definitely have scored.Thats the area he needs to improve on. Its a fantastic chance and Wilf has got to learn to put those away.Pardews club head into Saturdays clash with the squad a bit thinner after forward Yannick Bolasie was sold to Everton for a reported 25 million pound fee, while former captain Mile Jedinak joined Aston Villa.Mile has been an influential figure at Palace since joining five years ago, Pardew said.

We thank him for his commitment in a Palace shirt and wish him the best of luck in his next chapter at Aston Villa.The clubs have split the last four fixtures, while Palace claimed the most recent meeting between the sides with a 1-0 win thanks to a goal from Martin Kelly.
