Well another player popped for testing positive from that so called anonymous test back in 2003 that the MLB conducted on performance enhancing drugs. According to the New York Times David Ortiz and Manny Ramirez were both on this list, according to sources that have seen the list. When confronted by this Ortiz was "shocked" by the news that he had tested positive and said he would get down to the bottom of this. Ortiz then went out and went 2 for 3 with a home run that sealed the game. After the game when asked about the allegations Ortiz referenced the statement that he put out earlier in the day.
I don't know about you, but this is no surprise. I really can't blame him, because at the time of the testing non of these substances were not illegal in baseball so you can't say it was cheating. With the way these facts are coming out you gotta think that everybody was doing it so it's a level playing field in that way. The only reason it's a problem in baseball is because it is such a numbers driven sport and it's the only sport that let's you into the Hall of Fame without consideration of the championships you've won. Well it's another one who was caught who cares no one did when everybody was hitting homers and putting butts in the seats. So hate on these guys all you want but if you had the choice to take something that gave you the potential to make more money at work you would.
