Weeks after the announcement of his positive test results in an '03 steroid investigation, David "Big Papi" Ortiz is not letting the fans and media forget about it. Disregarding all suggestions from his agent and mother about "just letting it go", Papi is determined to clear his name. Even going so far as to call an emergency press-conference at Yankee Stadium this past week. Amid the boos of Yankee fans and MLB officials, Ortiz spoke into the mic with conviction:"I always say that I am honest man and player. And when people say: 'Oh he took the steroids', it make me sad. It make me call up Manny and cry on answering machine. I conducting my own investigation of MLB, and why they lie about me. I buy magnifying glass the other day from $1 store and, God-willing, the full-scale investigation begins tomorrow. I still trying to figure out why they say I am positive... I put only the best of things in my body..."
He paused to compose himself, and took a sip from his Monster Energy BFC
"I know my job here with Red Sox, I hit the homeruns, I sign the baseballs, I clean the seats after games. I do the same things everybody else do. Its a lie when the people say that I take the steroids, sure Manny and I inject things in the buttocks many times when he with the team. But we read the needles. It say things like: "testosterone, primobolan, horse tranquilizer", these not the steroids!"
Papi's legal advisor quickly leaned into his ear, whispered something, shook his head, whispered again, grabbed his briefcase and ran out of the press room as fast as he could.
