In response to "ok. so he says he never took roids, but took supplements, and admits to supplements?" by tRuMaN

He's admitted to ignorance that the supplements he took had a band substance.

He's been tested at least 15 times apparently since with no positive results.

- If that's how you want to frame it...sure. -- nm - Mel Profit Aug 8, 10:50 13
  - You do realize that if this information about 8 not testing positive for steroids had come out 6 months ago... - Inigo Aug 8, 10:52 1
    - *ding* How nice for him the union said what they did today. -- nm - Krusty Aug 8, 10:53
  - how else would one frame it? -- nm - tRuMaN Aug 8, 10:51 10
    - that he took legal over the counter supplements, which either could have caused a false positive or he was one of the people who didn't test positive - Farmer Ted Aug 8, 10:53 9
      - Even if he was one of the 8, it also could mean that he took an illegal sustance not classified as steroids. -- nm - Inigo Aug 8, 10:56 4
        
        or it could have been a legal one not classified as steroids, which is what he's saying -- nm - Farmer Ted Aug 8, 10:59 3
        
        I'd bet these tests were very solid. it took the union years to agree to any testing. - Inigo Aug 8, 11:05 2
        
        or the union finally agreed to them because they were full of holes. -- nm - mafic Aug 8, 11:08 1
        
        Fehr had been saying that drug testing was against their rights. He played that card until it couldn't be played anymore. -- nm - Inigo Aug 8, 11:10
      - the false positives were for steriods, that doesnt mean that those players were not positive for another preformance enhacing drug. -- nm - tRuMaN Aug 8, 10:56 3
        
        MLB and the union just said today that substances other than steroids (including legal ones) could have caused a positive result -- nm - Farmer Ted Aug 8, 10:58 2
        
        That's a caveat with any drug test. It's a pretty small chance though. - Inigo Aug 8, 11:02
        
        sure, but they also said they dont know who the 8 were or what caused the false positive. so basically, ortiz is using a loophole to not answer. -- nm - tRuMaN Aug 8, 11:00
