American League: Papi and Manny Test Positive for PED in 2003

[FishFanInPA]

Manny Ramirez and David Ortiz tested positive for performance-enhancing drugs in 2003, lawyers with knowledge of the results told The New York Times.

The two were key members of the Boston Red Sox World Series teams in 2004 and 2007.

Big shock that Ortiz tested positive.

Not surprising.

[Namaste]

Yeah I will toss and turn all night tonight in disbelief that Ortiz tested positive.

[FishFanInPA]

Remember when JJ would get angry on that unnamed board when someone suggested that Papi took roids?

[Party]

So the Twins were partially right.

[Ramp]

color me shocked

[Beef]

We're not gonna do the ARod thing?

[Bobbob1313]

Just release the whole fucking list, this is total bullshit for the players being leaked.

[Beef]

So then why should all of them be leaked?

[Bobbob1313]

Because someone is obviously just milking it for the most press they can get.

I don't think it is unfai that their names are coming out, I think it's unfair that their names are coming out only because it creates headline. When the list comes out and like Brian banks is on it, it won't fit into the storyline, so why release him anyways.

[Fritz]

I'm not surprised and I'm not bothered. Everyone cheating = level playing field = fine with me.

[Bobbob1313]

I like people who say they would be surprised if Ken Griffey and Derek jeter came out as users, and that's it.

Yes, very surprising that ultra competitive people with millions of dollars on the line would do whatever they reasonably could to improve. There is literally nobody I would be surprised about.

[Beef]

I like that you like that. I do not enjoy people who get surprised and angry about this stuff

[Namaste]

I wouldn't be suprised if The Machine tested positive either. Like Fritz said though, whatevs. MLB needs to move on.

[Fritz]

Pujols testing positive for roids would not be the least bit surprising to me.

I think the only players that I would be surprised about taking roids would be Greg Maddux and Griffey. Even then I wouldn't be upset, I'd accept it for what it is.
