The Red Sox slugger's start was so impressive that Boston Globe sports columnist Dan Shaughnessy wondered if it was too good to be true -- or clean. In a column published hours before Twins pitchers held Ortiz hitless on Wednesday, Shaughnessy speculated that Ortiz' hot start could be due to performance-enhancing drugs. Shaughnessy cited Ortiz' age, his Achilles injury, the recent history of Dominican players testing positive for performance-enhancing drugs and a 2009 report by The New York Times that indicated Ortiz had tested positive for a banned substance in 2003.

Wouldn't shock me but last I checked we're still innocent till proven guilty in this country and is there really any cold hard proof?

No what he failed never came out. He's never been in a report or failed another test. Not saying he never did or doesn't but there is no proof either.
