Red Sox tainted?

[King Glorious]

Bartolo Colon would be one that would surprise me. Just his body alone would not give the impression that he cares too much and he never struck me as the type that was overpowering like a Clemens or Pedro Martinez, although Andy Pettitte isn't either.

Ortiz response:


"Today I was informed by a reporter that I was on the 2003 list of MLB players to test positive for performance-enhancing substances. This happened right before our game, and the news blindsided me.


"I want to talk about this situation and I will as soon as I have more answers. In the meantime I want to let you know how I am approaching this situation. One, I have already contacted the Players Association to confirm if this report is true. I have just been told that the report is true. Based on the way I have lived my life, I am surprised to learn I tested positive.

"Two, I will find out what I tested positive for. And, three, based on whatever I learn, I will share this information with my club and the public. You know me -- I will not hide and I will not make excuses."




So let me get this straight. He is basically saying that he will admit to whatever he got caught for doing. LOL

i wonder if he'll give himself a 1 year suspension like he said should happen to cheaters.

Also, the list I posted was just the rumored list that I got off rotoinfo.com

its completely unconfirmed (except for Manny, Ortiz, sosa & arod) but it wouldnt surprise me in the least if its the real thing.

Interesting list. It only goes to show the Pirates (2 players) either don't care enough or where to stupid to cheat.

That is like Plaxico issuing a statement that he was remorseful for his actions. Really? You shot yourself in the leg and you're remorseful about it? You think?

Taking the cue from Pettite and Giambi. Smart man, but would have looked a lot better had he admitted it from the start instead of trying to come across as a clean player in spring training.

This sport makes me sick.
