Sure you didn't, you fat liar.
He then came out with the "I must have took a vitamin or supplement" excuse for why he tested positive for PEDs.
I'm currently watching this farce on ESPN and I can't help by respect Alex Rodriguez even more. I also think it's pathetic that the Players Association hung guys like Manny and A-Rod out to dry, but they show up to save Ortiz.
To make matters worse MLBPA came out with this

I predicted this.
Yup u did.
what a douche
Ortiz Lawyers Up! Maybe it's because I've spent more than 25 years sitting across the table from employees who have been accused of wrong doing and watch them lawer up and say "proove it".
It took Ortiz and the Players Association over a week to figure out what evidence may be out there and if there was a way for him and the union to simply deny, deny, deny! After no additional information regarding what PED may be involved, Ortiz and the MLBPA brought out the smoke and mirrors and took the position to deny that he took any illegal steroid, blame the "possibility" of a false positive test on some legal vitamin or supplement, and attack the credability of the list. This latest strategy of the union to attack the credability of the list is the more troubling aspect of this story.
After a few years and about 8 names, the union has now decided that the list may not contain correct testing results and that the players may be innocent. Really, then why agree to testing if the sample test results were inncorrect? Why wait until now to disclose this if in fact this was the case all along? Once again, the MLBPA is digging in their heels and if they can't stop the leaks, attack the accuracy of the list, including the number (is it 86 or 96 or 104)?. Why now? Why not when the results were first used as the basis for the testing policy in baseball? Why not tell the press this when Bonds was first named? If Ortiz never took an illegal steroid, why wait more than a week to deny it? Either he took steroids or he didn't take steroids. What evidence were they looking for if in fact he didn't do anything wrong?
Maybe it's the work I do, or that I work for a law enforcement agency, but the Ortiz press conference was another example of an individual who did something wrong, knows they did something wrong, but is waiting for someone to proove it before they show the proper remorse.
First the montra of the players was "never failed a test". Now the MLBPA has them saying "if i failed, the test results may be wrong". Let's see if the press examines this story in detail to see what PED was involeved and what other evidence may be out there. Because the union is again building a wall up between the truth and their interests.
