Yes and no. The version I watched he also talked about some type of PED Manny was bringing back from the DR and was also putting in it.

EDIT: To add, I don't care if he did PEDs I just don't like that he got in and arguably the GOAT pitcher and one of the best offensive players off all time didn't. Hell I think PEDs should be mandatory as it was a much better game when they didn't have to hide it and do untested PEDs that don't show up in tests like they do now.

So, while promoting his book in which he vehemently denied taking PEDs, he did an interview admitting he took PEDs? That makes no sense.

Maybe he was just trying to get people to buy the book. I have no idea I just know what he said.

Even if it was just(LOL) alcohol and Viagra how is that not distribution and consuming an prescription DRUG that is also a performance enhancer? That is several felony drug counts for us normal people.

I am still waiting on an explanation from the pro Ortiz crowd about his amazing year at 40 years old.
