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

for steroids at all

Responses:

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
