It's pretty obvious Manny Ramirez was putting more than cream in his coffee, why don't you?

Is that double-tall cup of morning joe not cutting it anymore? Here are 10 performance-enhancing alternatives that many athletes use – legally or otherwise – to be all that they can be.

1. Nandrolone (aka Deca-Durabolin): The old anabolic standard for muscle mass. Preferred in football and MMA.
2. Human Growth Hormone (hGH): For stronger muscles and bones.
3. Erythropoietin (EPO): Increases red blood count. Think Tour de France.
4. Tetrahydrogestrinone (THG, The Clear): Increases muscle mass and strength. The steroid that Barry Bonds made famous.
5. Ephedrine: An occasionally lethal stimulant for weight loss and alertness.
6. Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG): Manny Ramirez tested positive for this testosterone-booster.
7. Amphetamines (Greenies): Reported widespread use in baseball; increases focus.
8: Cocaine: Lifts energy and self-confidence. Highly illegal.
9. Marijuana: For increased cognitive abilities and relaxation. May cause munchies and paranoia.
10. Alcohol: Consumed in mass quantities by college athletes and Tony Stewart.
