I am ‘shocked’ that David Ortiz allegedly roided

Supposedly, the Boston Red Sox slugger, Big Papi, was one of the 100-plus steroid users, along with then-teammate Manny Ramirez, busted in a trial-run year of Major League Baseball testing in 2003.

Now, do I think all of his decline is due to at least reducing his juicing? No, but a fair amount is.

Meanwhile, in what gets this filed under “hypocrisy alert” tagging, too, in February, Ortiz said players who tested positive for juicing should be suspended for a full year.

Instead of getting Pete Rose re-eligible for the Hall of Fame, Commissioner Bud Selig needs to sit down with the players’ union and start addressing a way to responsibly talk about this to the world of fans.
