Papi handles the issue with class...doesn't duck or deny like others...

...and still the Satan worshippers try to spin this.


David Ortiz issued a statement after Boston’s 8-5 victory over Oakland, saying that he was “surprised” by the report but confirmed that he did test positive for performance-enhancing drugs in 2003. Here’s the complete statement:

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 said I had no comment because I wanted to get to the bottom of this.

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.

I want to thank my family, the Red Sox, my teammates, and the fans for their patience and support.

We're seeing the way he is falling apart. Roids = a deal with the Devil.
