Ortiz never failed a test, other than "one anonymous test".
I'm all for dissenting views, but not when they are not rooted in science..I mean facts!

Unless they spcifically bet on baseball, which i believe would disqualify someone based on the HOFs own rules. Aka mlbs "ineligible list". You want to add peds to this list, then go ahead it will have them ineligible for the hall.
