David Ortiz, who was named in baseball’s Mitchell Report but never failed a drug test through his MLB career. He meant that the league needs to be a bit more gentle in its handling of PED suspensions.

A fan, according to his twitter handle, a ‘depressed Red Sox fan’ tweeted, “David Ortiz is right. MLB is known for PEDs scandals more than they’re known for their players. You pushed the agenda to make Tatis the face of your league last season, now your baby face is suspended. NBA players for all we know can be on HGH, but we’ll never know.”
